Dear, Staff, Families, and Community Members
While the holidays are a joyful part of the season, they can also be a challenging time for many, so let's work as ONE TEAM and bring some extra cheer to our school communities!
MCSD is challenging each school to complete 100 acts of kindness before the start of winter break. Remember that kindness can be expressed in various ways.
- Lend a helping hand
- Reading with your children or siblings
- Spending quality time with someone who may feel lonely
-Saying "Thank You"
As long as it spreads kindness and inclusivity, it counts! Remember MCSD, it's cool to be kind!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Julianna Stocking
