💙 Tuesday: Kindness is Everything “A little kindness can change someone’s whole day. Be the reason someone smiles today.” Kindness builds connection — and it’s the foundation of an inclusive school. Today, we’re reminding our students and staff that every encouraging word and every act of compassion can make a difference. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, sitting with someone new at lunch, or simply offering a smile, let’s choose kindness today and every day. 💬💕 #KindnessCounts #BeTheKindness #InclusiveSchools #4theT

🚨 Reminder, Blue Devil family! 🚨 This Friday, April 18th, is a holiday for both staff and students! Enjoy the well deserved break! #4theT

🌟 Monday: Celebrate Differences “Everyone has something that makes them unique — and that’s something to celebrate!” Today kicks off Exceptional Children's Week! We’re celebrating the beauty of diversity in our school — in how we learn, communicate, and express ourselves. Our differences make us stronger, more creative, and more connected. Let’s continue to build a school culture where every student is valued, respected, and celebrated for who they are. 💙💛 #CelebrateDifferences #InclusionMatters #EveryStudentCounts #4theT
