Hilltop Elementary Students Display Kindness
The Hilltop Elementary Kindness Crew had a busy year. Its members, consisting of 5th graders, gave up time during their recess to participate in several community service projects.
In September, they helped with “Start With Hello Week,” a national call-to-action dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth. At Christmastime, the group wrapped gifts for families that needed extra help. One-of-a-kind paintings were designed by students and their creations were donated to a local nursing home. Recently, the crew assisted with “Kindness Week” and traveled to classrooms for kindness activities and delivered treats to staff members throughout the school.
Hilltop Elementary School Counselor Shelly Behm is the group’s faculty advisor.
