Kindness in Action!
The focus of Guidance classes leading up to Christmas was spreading kindness & doing things to show others we care. East students worked on Random Acts of Kindness to spread the spirit of giving to as many people as possible. Kindergarten & 3rd Grade students teamed up for this “RAK,” making Christmas cards to send to members of our military.

Other projects have included thank you cards for custodians, secretaries, nurses, and Mr. G, Christmas-themed locker posters for students, and handmade teacher & staff gifts. Little hands, big hearts, and the spirit of giving is shining bright at East Elementary!
