I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing Helen Baller teachers about what they love about their school community. I put the interviews together and got to present it at their end of year assembly. I am hoping to get young minds thinking about community around them and reminding everyone how important it is to be here for each other. Building community together. Enjoy!

These second graders are spreading random acts of kindness this holiday season and it’s so inspirational. I have to admit that I didn’t have my usual camera, so excuse the low quality of audio at some parts. Enjoy, and I hope this inspires you to spread kindness!
