Be Kind



Welcome back, students!  I hope you enjoyed your summer and are excited to be back.  Along with the anxiety of a new school year comes the chance to have a fresh start.  Throughout the course of the year, I hope to share some thoughts, ideas and Commodore Pride information with you through this blog.

Rachel's Challenge was such a great message to start the year off with.  We heard a story of kindness that was truly inspirational.  Rachel demonstrated how having compassion and treating others with kindness can have such a significant impact on our community.  I saw how touched our students were by this message throughout the day.  During the Friends of Rachel session, there were several brave students who shared how her story impacted them.  This group of students also came up with some really great ideas to continue building a culture of kindness at Perry Central.      

The quote from yesterday that really stood out was this: "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.  People will never know how far a little kindness can go."

At Perry Central, we have great students and yesterday was another example of why I am so proud to be a Commodore.  As we begin another school year, I hope we all make it our mission to see just how far a little kindness can go!
