This day serves as a reminder of the positive impact that kindness can have on individuals, communities, and the world at large. It encourages people to perform intentional acts of kindness and foster a culture of compassion and generosity. For World Kindness Day, Claxton Middle School will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable items through next Friday, November 17th for our local food bank. This will be a Battle of the Houses (Reveur, Isibindi, Amistad, and Altruismo). The house that collects the most items will earn House Points AND a Popcorn Party! May the BEST House Win!
