Celebrating Kindness Day Across BHASD!

Thursday our district came together to shine a light on the power of kindness, with each building embracing a unique theme that showcased creativity, connection, and compassion. Elementary students brought a Kindness Tree to life by adding personalized leaves to its branches. Each leaf represented a kind thought, action, or message—growing a beautiful visual reminder of how small acts can make a big impact. Students at the Intermediate & Middle School designed and decorated handprints that are now proudly displayed in the cafeteria. The Be the "I" in Kind mural invites everyone to literally and figuratively stand in the I, reinforcing that each person plays an essential role in spreading kindness. Finally, students at the High School put Kindness into Action and gathered on the turf field for a photo.
Across all grade levels, our students showed what it means to lift each other up and contribute to a community where everyone belongs. Thank you to our staff and students for making Kindness Day meaningful, memorable, and inspiring!

Middle school students visited Kutztown University today to participate in Teen Library Day. This year’s speaker was middle grade author Jordan Sonnenblick. Following his engaging presentation students got books autographed. They then enjoyed a visit to the art installation on campus. A wonderful day exploring literacy and story telling.
