Today 3rd Grade SAVE Promise members demonstrated what it means to be considerate of others. These students read the book, "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud, and gave examples of what it means to fill a bucket when demonstrating actions of kindness and consideration. These students set a goal for our school for the month of March. "I will be mindful of my actions and words and how they affect other people." Our SAVE Promise will be hosting a Kindness Challenge throughout the month of March as well as recognizing See Something, Say Something the week of March 17-21.
Way to go Gators! 🐊
