Paul J. Bellew Elementary School has been certified as a Kindness School by The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. During the past two months, students have worked together to make a kindness quilt, write letters of gratitude to others in the community and show empathy for one another. After sending information about their positive acts, the school was officially designated as a Kindness School. The certification will be displayed in the front lobby to remind students of the importance of kindness.
