Kindness Month is in full swing at North Elementary, which means one of our favorite activities is taking place. Every student and staff member has a kindness envelope to receive kind notes throughout the month of February.

We wrapped up the day by aging ourselves to 100 years old with a fun filter and writing an autobiography of ourselves after living 100 amazing years.
