Roosevelt Elementary School is in the midst of a great week called “The Great Kindness Challenge”. Orchestrated by our school’s Character Education Committee and facilitated by Mrs. Sleman, below you can see awesome examples of student work. As you enter our school there are hanging PEACE doves that appear to be in mid-flight as well as a BE KIND decorated window containing several Kindness quotes of encouragement! After that, our students – who are always reminded that we are United by our Diversity here at Roosevelt, got the opportunity to research the country of their heritage and find the Kindness traits of their cultures and display them for all to see on a bulletin board titled Color Our World With Kindness! What a GREAT week!
