Acts of Kindness

For the last ten weeks, the Cottontails have been busy studying the importance of Acts of Kindness.  The Acts of Kindness Week and our Acts of Kindness Day (on Tuesday, February 18th) was our culminating event where we put all of planning into action.

This Thursday, March 13th's Community Night (5:30 - 8:00) brings our Acts of Kindness unit to an end where we will speak to our community about our plans, our fun, and the importance of showing acts of kindness.  This evening is an incredibly important event as it allows students to accept challenges and take risks as they perform and work on public speaking and presenting skills.  Thorough this evening, students not only build public speaking skills but also build other crucial life skills such as character, self-acceptance, and resiliency.  Your role as an audience member is crucial in providing all Willowwind students with a real-life, authentic experience in speaking and sharing to a large group.  All Willowwind students in preschool through 6th grade are expected to participate and are looking forward to having you be a part of this event.  Please RSVP for this event so we can be sure your child is adequately prepared for their part in Community Night.

For our ASP friends that may still be at school at 5:00 on Thursday, March 13th, it will be a long day for children who stay for ASP. As usual ASP will serve an afternoon snack and there will be light refreshments served at the end of Community Night. However, if that will not be enough for your child, please send extra food for a light meal before the event. Students who are still in ASP at 5:00 will gather their belongings and walk over to the church together where they will meet their teachers for last minute preparations for their class presentations, which begin at 5:30.  Parents of these ASP students can meet their child at the church."

As we continue to prepare for our Community Night, enjoy a picture walk of our Acts of Kindness unit.  More pictures to come on Thursday night.  See you there!
