💗 Spreading Kindness at Simmons! 💗

Our 5th grade girls at Herma S. Simmons Elementary School recently participated in a powerful afternoon with the Kind Campaign - an experience centered on empathy, inclusion, and the importance of lifting one another up.

Through meaningful conversations and activities, students explored the impact of kindness and learned how their words and actions can make a difference each and every day.

We are so proud of our students for embracing this message and helping to create a school community where all hearts truly belong. 💙💛
