“No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.” ~Aesop
This week our students and staff will participate in the Great Kindness Challenge. You have received information on different checklists that you can use with your child to identify and spark interest in ways they can show kindness to others.
In addition, here are some simple but powerful ways that we can all continue being kind to others, both at home and at school:
- Be patient
- Be honest
- Be gentle
- Be a good listener
- Be respectful
- Wait your turn
- Use kind words
- Throw away trash
- Help your neighbor
“Random Acts of Kindness” are a fun way to make positive contributions to the world--some examples of Random Acts of Kindness are:
- Let someone in front of you in line
- Leave someone a kind note
- Hold the door open for someone
- Thank a teacher for helping you
- Donate your old clothes or toys
- Hold the elevator for someone
Look for ways that you can do this together; ask your children for their ideas. We all have unlimited opportunities to make the world a better place – let’s start today!
