Happening at Dogwood
February 9-13, 2026, is Virginia Kindness Week. The purpose of Kindness Week is to recognize and encourage simple day-to-day acts of kindness that enable our schools and communities to be kind. This initiative will help create a safer, healthier, and more inclusive place to live, work, learn, and play. The theme for the week is “Belonging Starts with Kindness.”
Spirit Week: Wear the color of each day. Flyer is linked here Kindness Week Flyer
Scholars will vote on the staff person who shows the most spirit this week! So let the fun begin!
