Caledonia Emmons Lake Elementary first-grader Liliana Barber Garcia returned home from school one day in early December eager to brainstorm ideas with her family for how to share acts of kindness with others.
Brittany Barber Garcia, proud mom of Liliana and kindergartener Beckett, praised the school for teaching students to think beyond themselves and find ways to serve others and their community.
“Both of my kids came home really excited to brainstorm ideas of how to be kind, and those were good conversations we had as a family at the dinner table,” Garcia said.
