Tonight we celebrated the teachers of the year for @bartow_schools. It was a great celebration. We are so blessed in Bartow to have such amazing teachers. I am in awe of the incredible amount of talent we have in each of our schools. We are especially blessed at WMS to have Vivien Spell as our TOTY. If you are in need of a little inspiration or motivation, go visit Ms. Spell. Huge kudos to all of the TOTYs this year. Being able to have this celebration at the @boothmuseum was such a bonus. #BetterInBartow #WeCanDoHardThings #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay

Our character word this week is KINDNESS. The definition of kindness is "being of a good or benevolent disposition; considerate or helpful." The quote for the week is from Mark Twain, "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

So I get home this afternoon and find this book in the mail, "K is for Kindness." My son gets a book every month from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This just happened to be the book he got this week.

As I looked over the book, I had an idea. I challenged our students to put kindness into practice every day this week. It just hit me that I should challenge not just our students, but our whole WMS family, to shower our community with kindness.

You've probably heard about the Random Acts of Kindness campaigns and special days that some communities or organizations use. I want to challenge the community of WMS and Euharlee, Taylorsville, Cartersville and all of Bartow County to shower our comunity with kindness this week. Can you imagine how much good can be done in a short amount of time with just the people in our family committing to do small, intentional acts of kindess. This is the best community I've ever been a part of. You have proven it time and again. Let's do it now with kindness. Let's make our little world a whole lot brighter by choosing to spread kindess to those in our circles. Let ripples of kindness begin to spread all across our community. If you happen to be the recipient of such an act, let us know. You don't have to spend a dime to show kindness. Yet it can make a huge difference in someone's life today. LET'S GO!!! #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings #KindnessChangesTheWorld
