Help us spread kindness, Sharks!

The Smith Station PTO is asking our shark community for donations of colored cardstock to support our schoolwide Kindness Day activity on November 13th! We are creating a schoolwide paper chain highlighting each student's way of showing kindness. All colors are welcome, and every donation will help our students create something special while spreading kindness throughout our school.

Thank you for helping us make this activity possible! ❤️
