This week, as a crew, we have worked hard to answer our guiding question: “How can I show kindness to myself and my community and have a positive impact?”
We began by resetting our norms and expectations for the year ahead, making sure we all start on the same page and support one another in the right way. Midweek, we were joined by parents for a warm and joyful day of coffee, tea, games, and the colour run. It was a wonderful reminder that kindness doesn’t just exist within our crew, but also in the connections we share with families and our wider community.
One of the biggest challenges came yesterday when we tackled the Monsal Trail. For many of us, it tested our resilience, but with encouragement from those who love exploring and who kept spirits high, we pushed through—together. Even when it felt tough, we supported each other, and I’m truly grateful to crew for helping me get through it too.
Today, we took time to reflect on the week. Already, we can see changes in our crew: stronger bonds, greater determination, and a clearer sense of what it means to live out kindness in action. This week hasn’t always been easy—we’ve had to grapple and lean on each other—but it has shown us the power of crew.
As we look ahead, we carry with us the lessons of this week: kindness to ourselves, kindness to others, and the positive impact we can make together.
Thanks Miss Askin
