Kindness Quilt

It is not too late to submit artwork for the Kindness Quilt! Part 2 of the Kindness Quilt will be put up on March 2 and the deadline for new submissions is February 28. Your child can participate by drawing a picture or writing what it means to him/her to be kind. Please use a letter sized sheet of white paper (8.5 x 11 inches) and return the artwork to Burr in your child's folder. Your child should write his/her full name somewhere on his/her work (the back is ok). All students who submit artwork will receive a small token of appreciation for their participation. 

If your child has already submitted artwork for the Kindness Quilt and that work is not currently on display, it will be displayed after February break in Kindness Quilt, Part 2. 

Why a Kindness Quilt? Burr has a school-wide focus on kindness this year. To kick this off, Principal Johal read the book What Does It Mean to Be Kind? to each class and started a discussion about how each of us can work to create a caring environment at Burr, where everyone feels welcomed and valued. 

Participation in the Kindness Quilt is optional but we hope that every child will chose to participate!
