Students stand with kindness posters

Students across Hockinson are leading with kindness this fall! Hockinson Heights Elementary kicked off its "Be Kind, Be a Hornet" campaign with kindness challenges September through mid-October. At Hockinson Middle School, students showed their support for Unity Day by wearing orange and attending an inspiring assembly about building a community of unity every day. High school leadership students helped set the tone for Unity Day by coordinating a big welcome for HMS students on the morning of October 15.

School culture initiatives like "Be Kind, Be a Hornet" and Unity Day help to shape safe, positive, and welcoming school cultures, one of HSD’s Strategic Plan goals.
