Last Wednesday, our "Kindness Team" gathered at Sunrise Middle School to kick-off their 21-day Gratitude Challenge. More stories to come, and in the meantime, here's some smile-filled photos from the day!

One of the beautiful ripples was how the student council spent two weeks beforehand crafting 190 unique gratitude notes (one for every student and teacher!) -- inspired by Vinny's "You Are Loved" wall. :) Several of the student leaders were eager to surprise their classmates, and they came in early before school to post all the hearts up on a wall, which began with the words: "Made by people who truly care and love. You are so valued here. Always be yourself and never change!"
