Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

We spend all day telling our littles how lucky we are to have them—but we sometimes forget about ourselves. Self-love is the best kind of luck there is! 🌈

Take 30 seconds today to answer these for yourself:
✨ I am proud of...

On Tuesday, April 28, our community will come together for Kind Columbus — a citywide celebration of generosity, connection and the simple acts that make a big impact.

From buying coffee for a stranger ☕ to organizing a volunteer project, from writing an encouraging note to supporting a local nonprofit — the mission is simple: spread kindness across Columbus.

As Mayor Jim Bulkley puts it:

“It doesn’t have to be a big thing… It could be a smile, it could be saying hello… Continue to do what Columbus does best.”

Today is a sweet reminder that love grows in everyday moments.
Simple ways to build strong adult-child connections:

These small acts fill big hearts 💕

Happy National Pizza Day! 🍕
Learning is better when we all get a slice!
Today we’re practicing kindness, patience, and respecting differences—because everyone’s pizza looks a little different, and that’s what makes it great!
