Kindness Week is new this year at the Harbor. The students recognized each other for their own Random Acts of Kindness throughout the week. They wrote the kind acts on a tree on display next to the main office. The students also wrote cards to staff members sharing why they were thankful for them. Each day Mr. Burke shared a quote on kindness and challenged the students to look for ways to be kind. This quickly became a highlight of the school year. We look forward to continuing the tradition for year to come.
