โค๏ธ๐Ÿค Eastridge Elementary is Celebrating Kindness Wednesday! ๐Ÿคโค๏ธ

Wednesday, December 2nd, is the first-ever Kindness Wednesday, and our Eastridge Mustangs are joining in! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’•

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! ๐Ÿ’—

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! ๐ŸŒŸ

โค๏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! ๐Ÿดโค๏ธ

Kindness Wednesday = Do an Act of Kindness + Spread the Word!
