This past year, Bellevue Elementary launched Kindness Stations Day, and it was a huge success! Students made a variety of kindness items to be distributed throughout our community. Each student was able to pick a station to create a special piece. The stations included:

• Decorating Muddy Cup holders and Khun's grocery bags and making bookmarks for Bayne Library.
• Making dog toys for Animal Friends.
• Making cards for Operation Troop Appreciation and Bellevue Police and Firefighters.
• Decorating puzzles and making Tic Tac Toe boards for Bellevue Pediatrics.
• Making tissue paper flowers with kindness sayings for seniors at Lutheran Service Center.
• Making welcome bags with key chains for new families at Bellevue Elementary School.

The message of kindness was embraced by the students and we thank everyone who participated and volunteered that day!
