- Love is in the air!! In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the SCA will be selling baked goods after school today, outside of the library and cafeteria. So drop by and get a “treat” for your “sweet!”
- Plus, for everyone who received a “Crush Can” today — be sure to stop by the SCA booth at lunch to learn the identity of your secret admirer for just a buck. Cookies will also be on sale for a dollar each.
- We continue today with Random Acts of Kindness Week — and this morning’s message is about KINDNESS and EMPATHY, two traits that are closely related. Kindness is simply empathy in action. Recognizing how someone feels and then DOING SOMETHING about it — that’s kindness. Always remember the words of the Ancient Storyteller, Aesop. “No act of Kindness, however small, will go unnoticed.”
