#KINDNESS MATTERS
 As you drive and walk to school, have you noticed the sign on the school fence that says #KindnessMatters? It took 20 students from Mrs. Shari Capriola's Third Grade Class and 200 red solo cups to spread the word. Take a look at Mrs. Cap who is featured in Scholastic Book's Blog talking about how she uses How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids by Tom Rath and Maurie J. Manning, to promote "bucket filling" and kindness in her classroom. Put a little love in your heart this holiday season and EVERY DAY!
