Kindness has more of an impact on others than we often realize. No matter where we are, what our age, who we are interacting with, pausing before speaking and thinking about our words is superbly helpful. No one wins with unkind words or actions. No one. We have always valued looking out for and looking after each other at our school, and we thank each of you for working on this with your own words and actions.
