Spirit Day May 2nd-Acts of Kindness
This year's winner of the Principal for the Day auction item has named May 2nd an "Acts of Kindness" Spirit Day. For his "Act of Kindness Day" he is requesting that students and staff wear green to promote kindness and hope.  We encourage all our students and staff to make an extra effort on this day to show acts of kindness throughout the day.
