Fourth graders in Mrs. Backlundβs class have set a goal this year to bring more kindness and joy into our community. π«Ά BTru means βBe Altruistic.β Altruism is the act of doing something for someone without expecting anything in return. We recognized people in our lives for their wisdom, strength, stability, patience, and time by writing letters and decorating BTru Rock as a symbolic gift. We presented the rocks to these people last Friday to thank them for being a βrockβ in our community. πͺ¨π€π #WeRMarshfield

Lots of creativity was needed to write letters, explain the animals' ailments, record customers' orders, write and create a menu, pay the correct amount, deliver the mail, and so on. #WeRMarshfield
