Bravo.
It was performance art at its finest for the students and staff of Anna Maria Elementary School.
AME celebrated the last day of Literacy Week Jan. 27, emphasizing kindness with a heart-warming display.
The student body gathered outside the school to form the shape of a heart.
The display was a visual representation of the school’s emphasis on kindness and compassion and a symbol of the importance of literacy in shaping young minds and hearts.
The concept was a collaboration between AME guidance counselor Kim Sherburne and media specialist Lynne MacDonough.
Students and staff wore pink, got in formation and stood in silence until asked to say, “be kind” in unison, expressing unity and purpose.
Many students held signs with messages — with the largest display stating, “Be Kind AME.”
