Domino Effect of Kindness

Tis the season... H.B. Williams Elementary students created a domino effect of kindness. The fourth-grade team spearheaded a service project that included a cereal drive. Almost 700 boxes of cereal lined three different hallways at the school today. Students used their math skills to determine the number of boxes needed and distance between each box to create a domino rally. All boxes of cereal are being donated to a local food bank.

The Grinch Visits BBE

Benny Bills Elementary has transformed into Whoville complete with a visit from the Grinch. Students are taking their picture with him and enjoying fun activities related to the movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

"In Whoville, they say – that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!"

We think the Grinch's heart grew today after hanging out with our kids
