We "Be-Leaf" in Kindness

As part of World Kindness Day, Brookside Place School students were reminded of our No Place for Hate Pledge. The pledge is a promise to treat everyone fairly and kindly in an effort to make our school a safe and happy place for all to be. Students signed a leaf and BPS School Counselor Mrs. Biggiani used them to create a special "No Place for Hate" tree. The bulletin board states: We "Be-Leaf" in Making BPS No Place for Hate.
