🌟 SMS Weekly Act of Kindness – Week 1 🌟
Focus Area: Building Our School Community
We’re kicking off the 2025–2026 school year with kindness! This week’s challenge is simple but powerful:
Greet at least 3 people each morning—especially someone you don’t know yet.
A smile or “good morning” can brighten someone’s day and help make Swain Middle a place where every voice matters and everyone belongs.
Let’s lead with kindness, right from Day 1!
