Caring and Kindness Are King at Rock Creek Forest

Rock Creek Forest Elementary celebrated its 3rd annual Caring Week Celebration. The goal of Rock Creek Caring week is to remind students that kindness is free, it takes very little time to be kind, and that when we spread and share kindness and respect with others, we receive that back exponentially. Students also learned that kindness is contagious and that happiness is a choice that should be spread to others.
