Modeling Kindness

Posted

On behalf of St. Patrick’s School in Bedford, especially our seventh and eighth grade students, I want to publicly thank Father Christopher Argano, who spent a morning at the school, discussing the importance of kindness. As Father Chris noted in his article in CNY’s Oct. 10 issue, St. Patrick’s theme this year is “in a world where you can be anything, be kind.”

Our upper house students were reminded of their important responsibility as student leaders to set a good example and be positive role models for our younger students. We have always had a Buddy Program at St. Patrick’s School and our students work so well together. Father Chris provided a timely reminder to lead by example and mindfully practice kindness. We are grateful that he shared his time and his insights and practiced kindness with us.
