Great Kindness Challenge Great Kindness Challenge

January 22 - 26, 2024

Menchaca ECC is excited to participate for the fifth year in the Great Kindness Challenge. January 22nd - 26th we are encouraging students to complete kind acts. A junior edition of the challenge is being sent home with all students, and we encourage you to have fun as a family to complete acts of kindness! Students will be completing acts of kindness in their classrooms, too, and we encourage you to ask them about their kind acts each day. We want to CREATE KINDNESS and spread it!


If you any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Early Childhood Counselors at:
