Kimberly Williams, an educator at Macedonia Elementary Middle School in Blackville, shared this photo of our reporter Stephanie Shaver and a student.
Stephanie was photographing the first day of school on Monday when she noticed a student who was upset and missing her mom. She took the time to comfort the student.
“She’s so sweet and compassionate. She got down on the floor to try to help comfort a crying student,” said Williams of Shaver.
While our job is to inform, we also love and care about our community!
“We don’t share this to toot our own horn or promote ourselves, but we hope it serves as an example about the power of kindness and compassion - neither of which costs anything to display. Our world needs more of both!” said newspaper publisher Jonathan Vickery.
Kindness is contagious, so let’s be sure to spread it.
