Foxboro Elementary kicked off the school year with a bang, featuring an energizing assembly with the talented band Bitter Blue. Their electrifying performance set the perfect tone as we embarked on our journey to become a certified School of Kindness. Students were inspired to be kindness rockstars on their "Tour of Kindness" this year, taking their positive actions beyond the school walls and into the community. Student leaders at Foxboro performed creative skits, demonstrating the many ways kindness can shine in various settings. With their powerful chant, "We will, we will be kind," Foxboro Elementary is setting the stage for a year filled with compassion and generosity. Let’s all join in and support their incredible efforts to spread kindness everywhere they go! https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/live-feed#6872734
