Our Haven Academy Director, Heather Shoup, spent the morning visiting classrooms at Annie Lucy Williams Elementary in partnership with Embracing Our Differences. She shared stories all about kindness 🫶🏼, happiness, and lifting each other up and the students absolutely loved it!

Heather’s big heart goes far beyond our classrooms at The Haven and we love seeing her spread that same kindness out in the community. A beautiful reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big impact. 💜📚✨
