More Gratitude, More Kindness

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

First things first ... it's time to announce our book winner.

Please congratulate Tanya, whose favorite book to teach diversity is The Sandwich Swap by Queen Rania with Kelly DiPucchio. Tanya, you've got a signed copy of Chocolate Milk, Por Favor coming your way.

Look at this sparkly mini-poster that Maria made with my words in last Sunday's post. Thank you, Maria. Kindness is a beautiful thing.

Today I'm also feeling grateful for Erin Pesak, the parent volunteer and friend who masterfully crafted this 3-D bulletin board, in full bloom down our first-grade hallway. Doesn't this make you all shades of happy?

My friend Annie D. sent this kindness nugget our way: Today marks the two-year anniversary of a difficult day in Boston, so the mayor has called for intentional acts of kindness to honor the resilience and generosity of the people of that great city. Read more about it at One Boston Day.

Another reader, Maureen, sent info on these precious Zulily Ts.
