Let’s start the week off with a kindness story! Mrs. Becky McBride at Perritt Primary nominated Mr. Paul Hale, custodian, and Emma Gables for a Badger Pride Award this month. One morning Emma arrived at school late and was eating breakfast by herself. Mr. Hale sat with her while she finished breakfast. Emma was so happy that she shared the news as a “good thing” in class. Mr. Hale’s act of kindness prompted Emma to help him clean the cafeteria the next day! Kindness promotes kindness.
