This includes the teachers\u00a0who stay hours after the school day ends to prepare something exciting for their students and the students who help one another when they see someone in need.<\/p>\n<p>Every year on September 8, kindness is shown in an even more special and meaningful way at Brookhaven Elementary School. This is the birthday of Jerry Vitelli, a former Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District\u00a0student and child of beloved Brookhaven kindergarten teacher, Teresa Vitelli.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry was known for his kindness toward others and his positive attitude that made everyone smile. When he was sadly taken from this world too soon, his mother created, \u00a8A Day to Celebrate, Remember, and Be Kind to Others,\u00a8 The goal of the day is to spread kindness just like Jerry.<\/p>\n<p>For the past three years,\u00a0with the support and guidance of teachers Mrs. Walls and Ms. Tripp, Brookhaven 5th and 6th graders have spread kindness around campus by \u00a8Chalking the Walk.&#8221; Brookhaven&#8217;s halls are decorated in positive words and phrases to inspire their fellow students, as well as staff, parents, and community members who walk the campus.<\/p>\n<p>The phrases and words written around the campus by students genuinely showed the kind-hearted and thoughtful nature of the Brookhaven Bears. It truly reflects the way Jerry lived his life and continues to inspire students to connect with one another and show leadership at Brookhaven. Way to go, Bears!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17244\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"Chalk walk at BES.\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2-1024x653.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-2.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17243\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-300x268.jpg\" alt=\"Chalk walk at BES.\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-768x687.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-1024x916.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17242\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5-300x103.jpg\" alt=\"Chalk walk at BES.\" width=\"300\" height=\"103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5-768x264.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5-1024x352.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-5.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17241\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"Chalk walk at BES.\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3-768x949.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3-829x1024.jpg 829w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Brookhaven-Elementary-Chalk-the-Walk-Kindness-9-26-19-3.jpg 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brookhaven Elementary School is a place where kindness is shown everyday in big and little ways!
