Parkway and Birch Elementary students enjoyed a very special presentation from Orion Jean, TIME'S 2021 Kid of the Year. Jean sees himself as an ambassador for kindness—he jumps in wherever he sees a need, whether it’s collecting and donating 100,000 meals to food insecure families across the country, or getting 500,000 books to kids with none at home. At a time when isolation and division are rampant, Jean sees the world as it could be if more people brought their communities together to help their neediest members. Thank you, Orion, for your inspirational message!
