Mackeben took on kindness in the month of March and spread it all around! Each of the 516 students at Mackeben painted two rocks during their art classes in March. One rock was placed in the Mackeben Courtyard as a reminder to always be kind to our friends at school, and the other painted rock traveled on spring break with our students.
Students were so excited to share their #kindnessrocks with the communities they visited over spring break! Parents took pictures of where the #kindnessrocks landed and shared the city and state location. All pictures have been posted on the Mackeben Facebook page. See a sample of just a few locations below:
Check out Mackeben Elementary School’s page for some insider info on where you might find #kindnessrocks left by their students all across the local area and entire country over spring break! Love this project!
