Nicole Phillips, breast cancer survivor, Hallmark Channel guest, and author, came to Avon High School on February 17 to present an assembly she calls Kindness is Contagious! She told her life story and how she overcame her battles using kindness in her daily life. Phillips also presented a little challenge for teams with salt and pepper. She had salt and pepper (both loosely and in the containers) on a plate with toothpicks and straws, and she said to separate the pepper from the salt. Ironically, all they had to do was split the containers. It was a lesson on perspective. When she finished, she also donated two of her kindness books to Avon High School library.
