When we lift others up, great things happen.....kindness spreads!
Just like our middle school, East Palestine Elementary is now also utilizing a Kindness eWall where students and staff can be recognized for the great things they're doing.
Students, staff, and families can post anonymous, uplifting messages that are approved before being displayed publicly, currently in our cafeteria.
We encourage everyone to take a few moments to lift someone up—recognize a student’s effort, thank a colleague, or share a kind word!
