Students at Londonderry South Elementary School were recently given the opportunity to paint four benches in the school’s courtyard. The benches were donated by the PTA for a “Kindness Project” that would brighten the courtyard and give an area for teaching outdoors. Art Teacher Marcia Connors had students from every grade level help with the project. Pictured are first grade students applying finishing touches. Each bench was labeled with kind sentences such as “Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give,” “It’s cool to be kind” and Be kind to yourself.” Photos by Chris Paul
