At Wells Elementary, we prioritize instilling a sense of kindness in our students. To encourage this, students can nominate someone they have witnessed performing an act of kindness. The following week, two of these nominated students are chosen to receive either a bracelet for a small act of kindness or a t-shirt for a larger act of kindness. This week, Emmytt B has been selected for his large act of kindness, while Khloe L has been nominated for her small act of kindness. We appreciate your efforts in showing kindness towards your fellow students!
