Lynbrook High School students in the Culture Club made a trek to Marion Street Elementary School on Dec. 6 to promote kindness through creative activities.

All grades throughout the Marion Street building were joined by their older peers for the student-guided endeavor. To warm up, Marion Street students colored in illustrations that promoted the importance of kind deeds. Each student received a cup of beads in different sizes, styles and colors that were carefully added to a string, resulting in their own unique friendship bracelets. Beads with students’ initials were also handed out by the visiting high schoolers to add another touch of personalization. Marion Street students were thrilled to work with their peers, who make routine visits to the school to host engaging and informative experiences.
