In recognition of Be Kind Online Day, SIMS students wore purple as a reminder that every click, comment, and message matters. 💜 Whether chatting in a game, sharing a post, or replying to a message, words carry weight. Today, SIMS students stand together to show that kindness isn't just something practiced face-to-face. It's something to model in every digital interaction!
