It is not too late to make somebody’s week! See the message below from Mrs. Sharping that was featured in the November newsletter.
November always brings about a season of gratitude and thanksgiving. It is a time for reflection of the things around us that we appreciate and love the most! At Patrick Henry we are especially grateful for our students, families, and our staff who all contribute to the overall success of our school!
World Kindness Day is on November 13th. In honor of this day we are asking our students and families to help show our appreciation and support for Teachers, Office Staff, Custodians, Lunch Service Workers, Education Assistants, Bus Drivers, or anyone else that dedicates their career to helping and educating our kids! We are encouraging all students and parents to help us celebrate World Kindness Day by writing uplifting notes to share with a staff member who has demonstrated kindness, or has gone the extra mile for you or your student. Our goal is to spread kindness and encourage each other despite staff shortages and the extra responsibilities that often fall on the shoulders of school staff. Students and parents can drop a note in the school office to be delivered to a particular staff member, send me an email with a message that could be shared (kim.sharping@k12.sd.us), or spread kindness in any way you that works for you! We would love to share all kindness messages with staff during the week of November 14th – 18th.
Thank you for your help in this fun and uplifting project, and for spreading kindness around the Patrick Henry Community! One kind act can change someone’s entire day!
