WONDERful Doors at the Mann!

Thanks to the efforts of Team WONDER, our staff and students, the hallways of Horace Mann have become colorful, fun and encouraging!  As part of our immersion in kindness this month (inspired by the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio) a door decorating contest was held.  Nearly every door burst into creative expression, inviting passers-by to stop and look :)

Students voted on the best door from each of our three floors, and the results are in.  Congratulations to Mrs. Axford, Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Cali for their winning doors (shown below)!  Although these were the winners, there are SO many that are amazing.  I think my favorite sentiment is "Spread kindness like confetti."  Isn't that a great image?



Special thanks to kindergarten teacher Mrs. Rini for organizing this spirit-building activity.  Although the contest is over, I don't see the decorations coming down anytime soon...
