Always Be Kind!
Thanks everyone who showed up today for an impromptu Peace Walk❤️
#BeTheLight
Hope, Dreams, Peace, Love, Kindness, Freedom, Justice....
Some families are headed up to Lower Elementary tomorrow(Monday) at noon to do a Peace Walk around the school grounds a few times. The Peace Walk has been a tradition at Lower for twelve plus years and families have been reminiscing. So, they figured it could be recreated in a 2021 style! Join together with a distance, outside, with masks and walk around the school in unity. Let's celebrate hopes, dreams, love, peace and kindness!
Happy New Year!
Shine Bright Together
