Starting at the beginning of October, and extending through the entire month of October, Maple Ridge Students will be looking for opportunities to show kindness.  Kindness Month began with student council members visiting the classrooms to introduce the theme, and talk about how to show random acts of kindness.  Each classroom decorated a poster, and students signed a petition to show kindness to others.  Mrs. Jenkins' sixth grade class showed kindness by going to the other sixth grade classrooms and cleaning off their desks!
