Kindness at the School Office

"I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words."
―Ann Hood

When I think of the kindness that I would like children -- my children, all children -- to receive at school, I usually think of the teachers.  But there are many other people at school who on a daily basis extend kindness to the children.  The other day, one of my children was having a rough day.  She was trying hard to hold in her emotions, but the wise woman who works at the school office saw through my daughter's attempts at bravery and gave her the hug that she desperately needed.  It definitely takes a village to raise children and, in the best villages, there is lots of kindness to go around.
