❤️ World Kindness Day ❤️ November 13 is World Kindness Day—a reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. Hold the door, share a smile, or lend a helping hand to those around us today. Department staff wore blue and yellow today to join others around the world in observing the impact kindness can have on someone's entire day. 🔵 Blue represents trust, peace, and calm—qualities that reflect the gentleness and sincerity behind acts of kindness. 🟡 Yellow represents happiness, positivity, and warmth—things that kindness brings to both the giver and the receiver. One smile can make someone's day brighter. #WVEd #WorldKindnessDay
