SMS Students are Loving the Compliments Project
Middle school can be hard. With this fact in mind, Grade 6 teachers Denise Nobile, Dawn Stanczuk and Tara Garrett helped "spread the love" on Valentine's Day by initiating, "The Compliments Project." Students took turns sitting in the center of the room with their backs turned, while their classmates wrote nice things about them on a large piece of paper. The smiles were huge when the students turned around to read what had been written about them.
