Mrs. Vilstrup's class is counting down the last 12 days before Christmas break with a "12 Days of Kindness" countdown. They kicked off the 12 days of kindness by reading The 12 Days of Kindness by Jenna Lettice. Each day, students will have a kindness focus which includes some of the following activities: smile at someone in the hallway, write your principal a sweet note, play with a new friend at recess, and complete school work with a good attitude. The students look forward to their kindness task each day!
A big shoutout goes to Billie Rengo and Tyler for volunteering to help lead the Title 1 Family Night at Grantsburg Middle School. It was a great success!
