Today we focus on the Davis community and connecting with others outside our bubble. To start, Jamie Macdonald walks us through the behind-the-scenes of Picnic Day, a tradition Davis has every year. Then, we go on to talk about how kindness can connect us all as well as brighten someone’s day, Olivia Ayson has the story. Lastly, it’s important to remember social media’s impact on our circle and ourselves. Paige Tracy reports.
