During the week of 1/22-1/25/19 Waddington Elementary School and Early Learning Program participated in Kindness Week. This involved spirit days: Feinstein Day, Team Kindness Day, Crazy for Kindness Day, and Rainbow of Kindness Day. The students participated in activities such as: morning kindness quotes, random acts of kindness checklist, kindness rocks art project (the rocks will be placed outside during Spring to create a kindness garden), a blizzard of kindness, and kindness cards. On 1/25/19 we wrapped up the week with a Kindness Assembly that began with a Community Kindness Tunnel. Participants of the tunnel included: Mayor Robert DaSilva, Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Crowley, Assistant Superintendent of Schools Celeste Bowler, Local Fire Department members, Local Police Department members, EP Animal Control Officer, Councilman Ricardo Mourato, Alan Shawn Feinstein, Director of Pupil Personnel Julian MacDonnell, Assistant Director of Pupil Personnel Tracy Andrews-Mellouise, and School Committee Member Jessica Beauchaine. It was an amazing week at the school, and the assembly was a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with community members so they could hear how proud they were of all their kind acts.
