Random Acts ... 

Snow days may have delayed a group of anonymous Pomfret Community School students from delivering their message during random acts of kindness week in February, but it did not dampen their positive spirit. Their message was heard throughout the PCS community. Students created interactive bulletin boards that were placed throughout the school which asked the question, "PCS…where students, faculty, and families dare to be ______? "  Students and staff were given index cards and were asked to express a positive word or message they felt best answered the dare to be question. Students were then able to choose a PCS spirit ribbon created by the group. Hundreds of messages were posted on the boards for several weeks. This random act of kindness followed another group of students who created notes of gratitude and creative artwork that was placed in all faculty mailboxes earlier this year.  Photo courtesy of Phyllis La Belle.
