Words Matter

March 3, 2025 in Students Announcements

Did you know that the words you choose can make a huge impact? A kind word can brighten someone’s day, but hurtful words can leave scars that last much longer. This week, we challenge you to use your words to lift others up instead of tearing them down. Give a compliment, encourage a friend, or simply say hello to someone new. Remember—kindness is powerful!
