A change in hours and the shortening of classes will give kids one more period to fill, while new offerings will bring more foreign languages, art and design to the Costa Mesa campus.
Spreading Kindness: From Pizza Box Beginning to Big Idea
For Costa Mesa High School junior Rebekah Robeck, kindness is more than a concept, it’s a way of living each day, and she’s made it her mission to spread her good-natured message to schools all over the state.
As on-campus classes resume in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District on April 26, plans are being set to kick things off with an official “Let’s Be Kind” day.
Through her “Let’s Be Kind” campaign, 16-year-old Rebekah has shared the concept that being kind to oneself, and to others, creates an atmosphere that is welcoming and inclusive. It offers a chance for better communication devoid of assumptions or biases among students, teachers, and parents, she said.
