Students and staff at Wading River School are helping kindness grow in
their community through the creation of a beautiful Kindness Tree.
Spearheaded by third-grader Madeline Rizzi along with other Girl Scouts,
a tree trunk and branches were created on the cement walls of the
cafeteria and are encouraging classmates, teachers and others to fill
out the colorful leaves with kind messages for all to appreciate.
“A random act of kindness can take many forms including helping someone
else, speaking kind words to another, or inviting someone new into your
group of friends,” said Principal Lou Parrinello, as he recognized and
thanked all those who joined in on this exemplary effort.
