The Galva-Holstein Upper Elementary Student Council is doing a kindness week. Each day on the announcements the student council gives a kindness challenge. These have included; thanking a teacher, smiling at everyone you see, or talk to someone new. They are also reading student shoutouts over the announcements. Each classroom has shoutout cards that students can fill out to recognize their peers for doing something good. They hand them into the office and student council members read them off for the whole school to hear. #CLAWSUP
