Despite the unusual schedule, we have had a great time during our annual school celebration of Woodchuck Week! Dress up days, scavenger hunts, and door decorating were all part of the fun.

Virginia Kindness Week

Virginia Kindness Week

Next week (Feb 9–15), our school is joining the statewide celebration of Virginia Kindness Week! We are teaching students that kindness is a skill we build through practice, and we’d love for you to join the conversation at home.

Pick one or two questions below to ask during dinner, in the car, or before bed this week to keep the spirit of Kindness Week going!

  • "What was the kindest thing you saw someone do today? It could be something big, or something really small."
  • "They say kindness is contagious. Have you ever seen one nice act lead to another?"
  • "Is it hard to be kind to someone when you are feeling grumpy or tired? What helps you stay kind even when it's tough?"
  • "What is something kind that someone at our school or in our neighborhood does that usually goes unnoticed?"
  • "How does your body feel when you do something nice for someone else? (Do you feel lighter? Prouder? Happier?)"

Thank you for helping us spread positivity!
