Throughout October, the Ridge Mills counseling team has been going into classrooms and conducting activities and lessons centered on kindness. Art Teacher Mrs. Kernan has facilitated a puzzle piece activity in which each student and staff member decorates a puzzle piece.
“These puzzle pieces are unique to each student. As they are completed, we are creating a large puzzle that will serve as the centerpiece in our school. The puzzle symbolizes how each piece is unique, and every piece is important to make the puzzle complete. Each student and staff member represents a puzzle piece, and every person at Ridge is an important part of our school. Without them, we would be incomplete. When we all come together, we become part of something big, something special, and we form a school family," said Ridge Mills Principal, Mr. Flagg.
The school will host a Kindness Walk on October 19th at 1:45 p.m. to further promote kindness. This event is a testament to the school's commitment to instilling empathy and unity among its students.
