It’s no wonder Port Jefferson Middle School students have been treating
one another with more empathy, compassion and acceptance. Students in
Ms. Michelle Landetta’s class read R. J. Palacio’s bestselling book
“Wonder” together, discussed its theme and steps they can take to
promote kindness to others.
Students and staff decorated and wrote inspirational quotes, positive
affirmations and words of hope on the popsicle sticks that were provided
to them. They then created a “PJMS – We Stick Together” bulletin board
right in a hallway of the school for all to not only admire their
creative work, but to share in their refreshing ideas and promote
everyone’s appreciation for the simple and joyful act of friendship.
