TOP SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

These District 202 social media posts got the most attention and feedback this week:

	.@aux_sable pumps up students for the Illinois Assessment of Readiness testing which starts this week.… https://t.co/dSHGQfMjQQ
		Ever heard of Tinikling? Plainfield North High School freshman recently learned Tinikling in physical education class. #202proud
		The Plainfield East High School National Art Honors Society and Poetry Club, with the help of the National Honors Society members, teamed up for a project called “Kindness Rocks”. Everyone in the entire school was challenged to decorate two rocks throughout the month of February. The idea was to decorate rocks with encouraging messages. Now that the project is complete, one rock will be placed in the new wildflower and sculpture garden at the school. The other rock can be kept for encouragement, or passed onto a friend or loved one to give them a smile and help them through their day. #202proud
