In recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month and Unity Day, our amazing 7th and 8th graders at Florence Middle School have been busy painting Kindness Rocks with uplifting messages and colorful designs. Over the next few days, students will be hiding these stones all around town in hopes of spreading joy, unity, and positivity throughout our community.

Want to join in on the fun? Keep your eyes peeled while you are out and about! If you spot one of our students' creations, here is how you can share the love:

📸 Take a picture of the rock where you found it
📍 Leave it for someone else to discover, or rehide it in a new spot around town
🏷️ Tag Florence School District in your post so our students can see how far their kindness is traveling!

Together, we can stand united against bullying and keep the ripple effect of kindness going strong in Florence.
