girls at recess

One of our favorite weeks of the year at ARPS is here! Kindness Week is our chance to come together as a community and show just how powerful kindness can be. Families are invited to join us by completing as many random acts of kindness as you can this week, and we hope you’ll carry that spirit with you all year long!

This Thursday, 1/29, also marks the 100th day of school, and we’re celebrating by giving back. Students are invited to bring in 100 pennies (or one dollar, or any amount you would like to donate in any form) to support LightShine Canine Rescue. This organization was chosen by Ms. Culver in memory of her son, Max. LightShine was Max’s favorite organization, and he cared deeply about helping puppies find safe, happy homes.

We will also honor Max on Friday with a special Disney-themed dress-down day. Max loved all things Disney and was known in our community for his kindness and care for others.

Let’s come together this week to be kind, lift one another up, and support one another in meaningful ways.
