Promoting kindness has been the focus of Mrs. Rusinoski’s program “Be The Nice Kid” this school year. The fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students have met her challenge at Old Hammondtown School. Over the course of the school year, staff members were asked to note students’ acts of kindness towards others. Names that were submitted during the school year appeared on a star and were placed on the kindness bulletin board. On June 11, 2019, students were recognized by the entire student body and staff at morning meeting. The students listed below were presented certificates for their kind deeds and words at OHS by Associate Principal Mr. Tavares and Special Education Secretary Mrs. Rusinoski. Along with certificates, students received ice cream sundae gift cards. Mrs. Rusinoski’s advice to the recipients was to pay it forward and continue to be “The Nice Kid”! Students who were observed doing acts of kindness, being helpful, or showing empathy towards others were: Asher O’Brien- Nichols, Matthew Williams, Heer Patel, Tess Adams, Craig Knight, Piper Brodo, Nick Gouin, Owen Pelland, Kierra Keegan, Ryland Perron, Cy Higgins, Jake Nelson, Lillian Gendreau, Greta Anderly, Morgan LeBlanc, Eric Dawson, Ellie Correira, Mia Figuerido, Charlie Connelly, Aubrie Letourneau, Mallory Henesey, Alec Arsenault, and Vivana Bull.
