East Jessamine High School

Today is all about looking ahead. When we dress for our future careers, we are also reminded that the future belongs to all of us. The choices we make today shape the world we leave behind. Kindness is not only how we treat people right now. It is how we care for our planet and protect it for the generations that will follow us. So here is the question to reflect on
What is one small choice you can make today that helps protect the environment and shows kindness to future generations? Maybe it is reducing waste, recycling, conserving energy, choosing reusable items, or simply being more mindful of how your actions impact the world around you. Small choices add up. Future kindness starts now.

We are proud to recognize her thoughtful mind, initiative, and positive impact on our school community!

It’s Kindness Week 💙 Taking care of yourself is part of being kind. When you start to feel overwhelmed or drained, that’s your sign to pause and refuel. What helps you feel supported and ready to keep going?

We are excited to celebrate Hadassah as one of our Students of the Month!

Today we’re wearing pink as part of Kindness Week 💗 Pink is more than a color...it’s a reminder. A reminder to lead with compassion, to choose gentle words, and to treat others with respect. Kindness doesn’t end with Valentine’s Day. It’s something we carry with us every single day—in our classrooms, on our teams, in the hallways, and in our community. Let today be a visible sign of an invisible commitment: to show up for one another, to lift each other up, and to make our school a place where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported. Kindness looks good on us.
