Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. - Kahlil Gibran

Lending a hand can build strong friendships. Can you remember a time when someone lent a hand to you? Maybe you were feeling sick, or couldn’t do something all by yourself, maybe you didn’t know how to do something in school, or maybe you were a new kid on campus and were unsure of where to go. We can all relate to a time when we needed someone to help us out. Be the person that reaches out to help someone in need this holiday season.

Peer Helpers will embark on a new journey beginning this holiday season. They will begin reading to Kindergarten and first-grade students and will continue doing so until the end of January! I'm super excited about seeing our older students supporting our littles at GSES!
