Kids Having Fun and Being Kind During “Kindness Spirit Week” at Butterfield Canyon Elementary

Posted on
Students dressed up for Kindness DayIt is a week focusing on kindness combined with lots of fun at Butterfield Canyon Elementary School. This is “Kindness Spirit Week” at the school. Every day has a dress up theme and a character dare like inviting a new friend to play or sit by at lunch. Other character dares included compliment five people today, write a note to cheer someone up, and be kind to the school by cleaning up a mess that wasn’t yours.
Students did a great job successfully carrying out the acts of kindness. They also enjoyed the dress up days like today which was “Generation Day” where students and staff could dress like a baby, a teenager, or a senior citizen. Thursday they all get to dress up as their favorite superheroes, and Friday is “Pajama Day.”
Keep up the great work being kind at Butterfield Canyon!
