Instead of a day indoors, Louisa County Public Schools brought all of its students to their high school football stadium for a kindness rally.
"It's all about taking care of one another. One team, one family, one community. That's what we are here in Louisa and it's important to really relay that message and make sure that continues on and on," said LCPS Division Superintendent Doug Straley. "We need to make sure each generation understands the importance of taking care of one another. If you want a great team, you need to make sure you're taking care of each other and lifting each other up and that's what it's all about."
