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

It 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!

South Valley School Honors Veterans with Personal Words of Thanks

South Valley students and staff paid respect to military men and women in a personal way on this Veterans Day.

The cards were handed out to a number of local veterans who showed up at South Valley School for a tour today. The veterans met with students, handed out small American flags, and were touched by the cards they received.

Thank you to all military veterans for your service and for helping all Americans have the freedoms they enjoy each and every day.
