At Driftwood Elementary School in Hollywood, students from all grades will gather on the physical education field to form the word “LOVE,” with the letter “O” in the shape of a heart.
Students at South Broward High School in Hollywood will participate in HeArts & Crafts, including making bookmarks for elementary school students, painting coffee cup sleeves with kindness messages, decorating clothespins with positive messages and creating Wishing Tree Notes.
Students at Ramblewood Elementary School in Coral Springs have been collecting food items for children in need, and will assemble “Weekend Packs” for families through a community partnership with a local church.
And Deerfield Beach Elementary School will be creating artwork that depicts a Path to Kindness. Students are expected to decorate paper cutouts of rocks with messages of love and caring and then attach them to the path.
