We are thrilled to kick off kindness week. At Normal Park we always encourage students to be safe, responsible, and respectful. But this week we are all going to go the extra mile with our kindness. Completing acts of kindness spreads across the community and benefits the person who receives and gives kindness. Please compliment your child when you see acts of kindness this week. At the Upper School, we held a competition for students to create the best video showcasing kindness. The winning video was made by Olivia Loveless. You can view it here. Congratulations to all of our students for creating wonderful videos.

It's Kindness Week at Normal Park! Starting Monday, 2/13, lower school students will be challenged to do as many kind acts as possible and to pay it forward when someone does a kind act for them. It can be as simple as saying hello to someone or as big as standing up for someone who is being mistreated.

The Orchestra Swings! was a complete success and joy to attend. I heard many 3rd graders say how much they enjoyed it and loved being able to sing with all of the 3rd graders in Hamilton County. Normal Park 3rd grade students practiced the song in music for the last few weeks and were ready and prepared to sing along. What a fun morning listening to the orchestra swing!
