Anthony J. Schmidt Elementary School

AJ Schmidt Elementary marked World Kindness Day with a visit from local author Lisa Bogner, who brought an uplifting message about how kindness creates happiness and strengthens school communities.

Bogner spent time with students reading from her book, talking about what kindness looks like in real life, and encouraging them to think about the small choices they make each day. Students were engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and shared their own examples of being kind to classmates, teachers, and family.

Every student received a copy of one of Bogner’s books to take home, giving them a lasting reminder of the day’s theme and the power of choosing kindness.
