On Monday at our Lower School Assembly, Mrs. Marth and Mrs. Kulpit spoke to the children about being bucket fillers rather than bucket dippers. Mrs. Kulpit read the book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. Each one of us carries around an empty bucket. Acts of kindness fill our buckets and when we are kind to others, we fill their buckets as well as our own. When you are not thoughtful in your actions towards others, you are a bucket dipper. Dipping into someone else bucket makes them feel badly and you feel badly as well.

We are going to focus on being bucket fillers this year. Mrs. Marth explained to students that each lower school homeroom will now have its own orange bucket. When someone feels that a friend has filled their bucket or a teacher spots a student filling someone's bucket they will take a minute to jot down the example on a piece of paper and drop the paper into the bucket. Each week at our assembly we will fill a big bucket and pick out several examples so that we may recognize our bucket fillers and learn from their examples.
