February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day! It’s a day to encourage spreading kindness and paying it forward. Our Pine River Lancers demonstrate respect, responsibility, and kindness every day, and now we’re putting it on display. This week, students will have the chance to choose an act of kindness from a list in their classroom or find their own way to help. Afterward, they can add their action to our large poster, showcasing the many ways we spread kindness within our Pine River Family. Thank you, Monique, for helping teach our students how to show random acts of kindness!
We had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Hale to Pine River Elementary today. The students enjoyed showing him what they’ve been learning in the classroom. Thank you, Mr. Hale, for your visit!
