West takes part in national kindness program

West Elementary is participating in a national initiative promoting kindness during the month of February.

The movement at the school was headed by a group of 6th grade girls who decorated bulletin boards and coordinated activities. At the beginning of the month students received a flier with suggestions on how to spread kindness.

“They have all just embraced it, so there’s positive notes around the building for everybody,” said West Elementary principal Sheri Ehler.

So far, the project has been a fun one for everyone at the school, she added.

“It’s just been a really positive experience but I think the thing I liked most about it is that is does come from the kids,” Ehler said.
