'Let's Be Kind Day' Celebrated At Newport Heights Elementary

NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Newport Beach Police joined with the staff and students at Newport Heights Elementary School to share in Kindness Day this week.

Department spokesperson Heather Rangel talked with Patch about the event.

"Our officers joined Let’s Be Kind and their founder, Rebekah, at Newport Heights Elementary School yesterday from 2 p.m.-3 p.m.

The officers talked with kids, passed out stickers and bookmarks, and mugged for photos.

They even let kids pose on their official motorcycles.

"Let's Be Kind Day is a special event on school campuses that reminds people that they are cared for, loved and valued," they said.

On the school campus, those three words are hard to know and feel but KINDNESS is something you can see.

Officers mugged for pictures with students by a colorful "Carded Yard" sign.

"The hope is that kindness will bring a group of students together to become the most incredible community that their school has ever seen," she added. "Let's Be Kind."
