โค๏ธ๐ค Eastridge Elementary is Celebrating Kindness Wednesday! ๐คโค๏ธ
Wednesday, December 2nd, is the first-ever Kindness Wednesday, and our Eastridge Mustangs are joining in! ๐ด๐
Following Giving Tuesday, this new national tradition reminds us that one of the greatest gifts we can give doesn't cost a thing โ KINDNESS! ๐
We encourage all of our Mustang families to join us by spreading a little extra kindness! Whether it's giving someone a compliment, helping a friend, thanking a teacher, or simply sharing a smile, even the smallest acts can make a BIG difference! ๐
โค๏ธ Our challenge to you: Do at least ONE act of kindness on December 2nd and encourage someone else to do the same!
Let's show everyone how much kindness our little Mustangs can spread! ๐ดโค๏ธ
Kindness Wednesday = Do an Act of Kindness + Spread the Word!
