It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

By Susie Rogers, 5th-8th ELA

Christmas break is a highly anticipated time that students look forward to all year. When Kevin, the Kindness Elf made his appearance the first of December, students excitedly looked forward to finding him and reading his charges. Kevin, the Kindness Elf, asked the students to practice their good manners, thank a teacher, compliment another student, talk with someone they didn’t know well, look up Christmas traditions, dare to challenge themselves in the future, and finally, read a book over their break! The tiny elf made some BIG fun within my classes and throughout the campus and brought smiles to everyone. The magical mood continued with a 7th grade class party and gingerbread house contest! Of course, Kevin the Kindness Elf had to join in the highly competitive decorating contest. Concentration, laughter, good-natured taunts, and candy thieves filled the room. We then had a fun and personal gift exchange where thoughtfulness was shown by all. Enjoy the pictures of our fun-filled day of fellowship and festivities!!
