Hamilton County Department of Education Elementary Schools are celebrating National School Counseling Week with a special event inspired by national movement, the Happiness Sprinkling Project.
The Happiness Sprinkling Project involves a group of people get together, wearing yellow. They gather at a busy spot where they will be seen by those passing by. They hold up signs, happiness signs. Signs that say things like, "You Are Awesome", “Smile”, and “Be YOU” . . . and watch the magic begin.
It is a simple way to spread happiness, kindness, encouragement, and fun,
Laura Lavigne, founder of the Anacortes Center for Happiness, created this event in May 2012 when a group of friends decided to bring joy to their town by holding encouraging signs while standing together on a busy street corner. The event is now held in the U.S. and Canada.
Join Wallace A. Smith Elementary will be participating Thursday from 2:50-3:20 p.m. and Ooltewah Elementary will participate Friday at 8:05 a.m.
