This year, Dozier Elementary hosted a new program spearheaded by counselor Kayla Robles. Each Friday, “Bucket Fillers” were recognized on their school Facebook page. It represented those who went out of their way to spread kindness to others that week.

Mrs. Kayla shared these words. “Your positive contributions are making a difference, and your efforts are truly commendable. Keep spreading kindness and filling those buckets all summer long!”
