This month’s Character Strong topic is KINDNESS. KINDNESS is giving attention, appreciation, and encouragement with words, gifts, or actions. Today’s Quote of the Day: “No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. A good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.” – Amelia Earhart
Be kind, be courageous, and always strive to be the best version of yourself. Have a great day Spartans!
Good morning, Spartans
