News from Mrs. Bates
Patriot Families,
Happy February! February will be a month full of school events! As we step into the month of February, we are excited to embark on a journey that celebrates the power of kindness within our school community. Kindness Month is a time dedicated to spreading compassion, positivity, and goodwill among our students, staff, teachers, and beyond.
Throughout this special month, we encourage you to actively participate in acts of kindness. Simple gestures, such as offering a helping hand, sharing a smile, or expression gratitude, can have a profound impact on the well-being of our school community.
Providence will be participating in a Kindness Challenge Week, the week of the 10th through the 14th. Remember, kindness is contagious, and together we can make a difference in the lives of those around us (flyer below).
With Patriot Pride,
Mrs. Bates
