We had the absolute best time celebrating Dolly Day at LOI! To honor Dolly’s legendary spirit of generosity, our amazing kids created a vibrant Kindness Wall filled with beautiful butterflies. Each unique butterfly has a handwritten message of kindness from our students—proving that even a small, gentle word can lift someone up and make the whole world a little brighter.

We are so thankful for the wonderful students and staff at LOI and hope that everyone had the most joyful day! Huge shoutout to Mrs. Molly & Mrs. Aris for making sure everyone had the most fun shades for today! Another huge thank you to Mrs. Tilley and Mrs. Futrell for the butterflies used to create our kindness wall!

Have the most beautiful weekend and we can't wait to see everyone next week!
