4th graders made a community service goal this year of spreading kindness and serving others in our school, community, and the world. Students braved the cold this morning by holding up signs for the parent pick-up line and classes have been working to spread kind notes on student’s lockers. They also chose to do some extra cleaning in our ESL and ELP rooms to spread a little joy! Can’t wait to see what they come up with next!! #givelove
