Our Pacific Intermediate Student Ambassadors, alongside club leaders Ms. Speicher and Ms. Stumborg, wanted to do something special to help spread love throughout our school community. 💕

They created a “Spread Love” bulletin board, on which students wrote postcards sharing simple, meaningful ways to show kindness and care for others. From small acts of encouragement to thoughtful gestures, the board quickly filled with reminders of how each of us can make a difference.

This display is a beautiful reflection of what it means to be positive, supportive members of our school community every single day. 💌

At Robertsville Elementary, Mrs. Chickering’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a special literacy experience with author Peter H. Reynolds as he read “Say Something.”

Students explored the power of their voices by creating statues and using paintbrushes to express their ideas in creative ways.

To bring the message home, each student made their own megaphone as a reminder that they can use their voice to “say something.” 📣
