This morning students in grades 2nd-5th got to hear from Mr. Doug Reavis talk about superpower kindness. Doug’s brother Chris is severely disabled and is consistently kind to others. More of his story can be found here.

A few highlights from Doug’s talk that you can ask your child(ren) about:

1. Happiness is not what we have, but what we give.

2. If you lead people to be mean, they will follow you. If you lead people to be kind, they will follow you. It’s all in how you lead and who you follow.

3. There are three ways to use superpower kindness:

1. With our spoken words

2. With our written words

3. With our helping hands

Thanks for teaching and modeling kindness to your kids. They were incredibly kind to our guest speaker today in how they listened and heard what he had to say.

Registration will be on March 5 from 9:00-6:00 and March 6 from 9:00-2:00.
