COUNSELOR'S CORNER

As you walk into BCE, you may notice something new hanging in our hallway. Our No Place for Hate Student Ambassadors completed The Kindness Chain, our 2nd activity this year towards becoming a No Place for Hate recognized campus. All students reflected on a way they could commit to spreading kindness at BCE. They set their goal or intention by writing it on a strip of paper that was used to create our Kindness Chain. That chain is now hung in our main hallway as a daily reminder to spread kindness and make BCE a "No Place for Hate". Follow up at home and ask your child about what they added to our Kindness Chain!
