The students have been practicing random acts of kindness this spring.
School Counselor Kirstin D’Alessandro felt like she was spending too much time focusing on the negative, constantly talking to students at Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School about not bullying. She wanted to turn the conversation into a positive and remind students to do good for others, so she created “Bee the Difference!” cards.
