Adeline C. Marston School Students Celebrate Kindness

HAMPTON – Superintendent Lois Costa and Principal Nathan Saddler are delighted to share that Adeline C. Marston School students learned about the importance of their actions during a Celebration of Kindness. 

On Friday, Oct. 27, Marston School staff and students gathered to learn about and celebrate kindness. During an assembly, students discussed the school’s rules about bullying, what it looks like to be kind, and the importance of being an upstander. 

The Celebration of Kindness was held as part of Marston’s Bullying Prevention Month activities, which is held throughout October.

Various staff members presented during the ceremony, including Principal Saddler, Assistant Principal Elizabeth Henderson, School Counselor Emily Whitney, and Music Teacher Gus Carlson.

Carlson led students in a song that promotes kindness, “Build a House,” and Whitney read “Acceptance is my Superpower” by Alicia Ortego – a story that teaches children that differences should be celebrated – aloud to the audience.

“The Celebration of Kindness is a great way for the Marston School community to come together and talk about the importance of being kind to others and standing up for those in need,” said Principal Saddler. “We strive to teach our students that differences shouldn’t be ridiculed, but celebrated. Thank you to all of our staff who helped organize this great event.”
