Bridgehampton School guidance counselor Mr. Ryan Barker visited every
elementary class in September to talk to the students about kindness and
to start a “chain reaction” to build upon the pledge all students took
in honor of Rachel’s Challenge. Each class brainstormed ways to be kind
to others and wrote down acts of kindness on strips of paper that were
linked together to form a chain. They also talked about how kindness can
go outside of each classroom and linked all the chains of each class
together to form a huge chain in the elementary hallway. The students
will continue to add chains when they see acts of kindness to eventually
fill the entire hallway and serve as a reminder that kindness can start
a chain reaction when they are walking the halls!
