I hope everyone saw the February Family Project and Kindness calendar! February is kindness month and we are really working as a McQuerry family to be kind to others. Using kind words, kind actions, etc… Acts of kindness do not always need to cost money! Your kiddo can make a thank you card for the fire department for free! There are lots of ideas on the calendar (pink). Please feel free to send a picture of your student doing something kind for me to hang up in the hallway.
