The Jonesboro-Hodge Elementary School’s Wraparound Program and Jonesboro-Hodge High School’s Student Council joined forces again to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week.

Student council members spoke with J-HES students about the importance of community helpers such as medical professionals, emergency responders, grocery store workers, sanitation workers, farmers, and more.

All J-HES students then created thank you notes for Jackson Parish community helpers which will be delivered by the J-HHS Student Council members.
