On Thursday, September 19, Central Boulevard School kicked off its first Thoughtful Thursday of the 2024-25 school year. This monthly initiative encourages students to give back to their community through acts of kindness, helping to build a more thoughtful and compassionate school environment. Each Thoughtful Thursday features a special lesson, activity, or program that allows students to reflect on themselves or engage in an act of kindness.
This month’s activity focused on promoting joy and positivity. Students created individual tiles with uplifting messages. These tiles will be arranged on the cafeteria wall to spell out “Love Your Passengers,” the first rule from Jon Gordon’s book, The Energy Bus for Kids: A Story About Staying Positive and Overcoming Challenges. As they worked, the students from Ms. Christensen and Ms. Sabatini’s fifth-grade class listened to joyful music, inspiring them to spread kindness through their artwork.
For the past few years, Central Boulevard School has participated in the Energy Bus program, which helps foster a positive school culture. The first Energy Bus assembly of the year is scheduled for this coming Monday, where the entire school community will continue their journey toward positivity and teamwork!
