www.isd578.orgThrough our Club Choice Fundraiser, Pine City Elementary was able to host a Kindness Retreat for the 5th grade students.The kindness retreat focused on how kindness makes positive difference in our school and how unkind, bullying behaviors hurt others. Students were introduced to the idea of being a hero for classmates by using tools like “ICI” (Interrupt, Compliment, Invite Away) and the Kindness Boomerang.
