Kindness Week:
Include Someone – kindness can be as simple as inclusion. Sit with someone new, invite someone into a group, or make space for someone who feels left out. Everyone wants to belong.
FFA Week:
National FFA Week is coming up, and we’re excited to celebrate! Get ready for Hat Week starting Monday — pay $1 to wear your hat and help support the Illinois Foundation FFA. Starting tomorrow, tickets will be sold for $1 for a chance to pie a teacher or officer. Tickets are available before school in the main lobby. Students will place their ticket in either the teacher bucket or the officer bucket. During WIN on Wednesday, February 25, names will be drawn and selected students will get to pie their chosen teacher or officer!
