The Great Kindness Challenge

The Great Kindness Challenge is one week dedicated to creating a culture of kindness and compassion on school campuses nationwide. This year, we will be observing this week January 25th through the 29th.


Our school is once again proudly participating in this proactive, positive kindness initiative. All students can reference the GKC checklist with twelve kind acts for students in pre-k and kindergarten and fifty kind acts for students in first through third grade. You may opt to print the checklist or use it in an electronic capacity. Some of the items may have to be approached differently this year, bit we urge you to be creative and foster a positive experience. Please encourage your child to have fun and complete the checklist.


The entire district will also be invited to participate in themed spirit days to help celebrate our week of kindness with The Great Kindness Challenge. Please see the infographic below for those spirit days.


We also invite you to participate in the family edition which can also be found below. Together, let's show the world that KINDNESS MATTERS!
