GFW 5th graders attended a kindness retreat yesterday put on by Youth Works. Four high school students, Mrs. Thompson, and Mrs. Schiro all helped lead the event. At the end of the retreat students chose one way that they could help kindness spread at school and committed to doing so. We look forward to checking in with students in the weeks to come!
