A sign on the back fence at Mountain Elementary School overlooking Diamond Drive proclaims ‘Choose Kind’. The brainchild of school counselor Jen Schmierer, the sign is part of Kindness Month and the Happy Heart Hunt which runs through Mar. 1 at Los Alamos Public Schools. Schmierer’s colleagues Taylor Pomeroy and Mateo Cardiel helped place the sign which sends an important message to the community. Photo by Maire O’Neill/maire@losalamosreporter.com
