Mr. Fabian Ramirez was able to present to each Middle School on Friday, February 16, 2023, on The Kindness in Me. Fabian's message challenged students to be a room changer by spreading kindness everywhere they go. Fabian also shared with the students the difference between snitching versus reporting, focusing on when you snitch on someone, you want them to get in trouble. However, when you report someone, you want them to get help. Finally, Fabian discussed with students that we cannot control how people treat us, but we can control our responses.
