Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a happy Friday. We have had a great day at Skinner North. It was our #compassioninaction day. We were able to unveil our hashtag for the year to students. This included a socially distanced assembly with learning around what compassion is and how we can show it to others around us.
One act of kindness has a ripple effect. We want to encourage students to start these positive ripples. Some things students will have this year include creation of our school-wide compassion compact, caught you being compassionate notes and grade level service projects.
Learn more by: Watching our staff video here. Go through the presentations at the following links: K-2, 3-5 and 6-8.
A big thank you to Ms. Jacobson, Ms. Renteria, Ms. Ritchey for their leadership on this event and to FoSN for supporting this initiative. Every student got a #compassioninaction shirt thanks to FoSN.
Please read below for further updates.
Have a great weekend,
Katie
