The Kindness Tree is a yearly activity that Student Council came up with to bring kindness and good vibes throughout the school! They had the students and teachers of AHS come up with encouraging quotes to tape on the wall in the shape of a tree. Sophomore Emma Winford said, “I think it’s to bring more positivity to the student body.” You never know what your classmates, or teachers/staff are going through outside of school. For some people, the Kindness Tree could brighten their mood or provide motivation to simply get through the day.
