Make kindness the norm! Join with Van Buren County Schools this week, February 13-17, in celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week. RAK week is a celebration of all the ways we can become a positive influence in each other’s lives. The world can be selfish and cruel sometimes and not everyone receives the same kind of support they need. In such a world, it is important for us to constantly be reminded to be kind to one another and to give others hope whenever we can. A small and random gesture of kindness can go a long way at home, at school, in the community, and even in the world because kindness truly is contagious!
