Kindness Week
Our middle school invited Ben’s Bells to do a program on kindness. Ben’s Bells started in Arizona after the founder lost her son suddenly before his 3rd birthday. More information on this fantastic organization can be found in the link below.
As part of this program, kids wrote notes to each other with kind messages. Mikey brought home this amazing note from his friend S.
Text of the note:
Dear Michael,
You are very special to me, and no one can replace you.
You will always be my best friend.
From, S
This is just the sweetest thing ever! S made a huge difference in Mikey’s young life. As the years have gone by, we lost touch, but he will never forget her kindness.
