  💫Kindness Week at P.S.16 Queens was kicked off with a tasty treat for all Staff Members! 🍳🥞Kindness can be contagious, encouraging others to replicate kind acts, creating a more positive community.❤️
  
  💙💛Kindness is an important part of teaching because it can help students feel safe and supported, which can lead to better academic and emotional growth.📝👩🏻‍🏫Teachers can model kindness by: empathy, encouraging, mindful, inclusive, and respectful.🤗
