  MESSAGE FROM DR. COAKLEY
KINDNESS WEEK NOV. 10-14TH

Dear Parents and Caregivers,


We’re excited to celebrate Kindness Week, starting Monday, November 10-14th! Throughout the week, students will take part in activities that highlight the importance of being kind—to ourselves, to others, and to our community.
We invite families to join in by encouraging small acts of kindness at home this week—such as helping with chores, writing a kind note to a family member, or complimenting someone. We’d love for students to bring in a picture or note to share their acts of kindness with us! This could be done through:

  • A short note or drawing describing what they did
  • A photo (if possible) of their kind act
  • Simply telling their teacher about their experience
Drop these in the drop Box is in the Lobby all next week. Together, we can spread kindness and make a difference—one small act at a time! 
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Mary Coakley, Principal
