This month at Whitman Elementary, students spent time in the library talking about kindness and empathy. They shared what kindness looks like to them by creating individual quilt squares filled with thoughtful words, drawings, and ideas. Those squares were then brought together to create a Kindness Quilt.
Reminder, no school school on Friday, January 16th and Monday, January 19th.
