The Great Kindness Challenge is Here!

Walker Elementary is joining over 20 million students worldwide for one special week dedicated to spreading joy and preventing bullying.

The Goal: Create a culture of kindness on campus and at home.
The Action: Students will use a fun "Kindness Checklist" to complete simple acts of caring (like smiling at a new friend or thanking a teacher).
For Families: You can keep the kindness going at home! Download a free Family Checklist at TheGreatKindnessChallenge.com.

Use this question each week to engage your student at home with the learning that your is doing at school.

Week 22: Internet Kindness & Reporting

"If You See Something, Say Something"

Digital Citizenship Week is a great time to focus on being kind and responsible online. Encourage your child to be respectful in digital spaces, avoid sharing hurtful messages, and tell an adult if they encounter anything troubling. We all play a role in making the internet a safer place.

At Springdale Public Schools, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our top priority. We believe in empowering everyone with the ability to anonymously report suspicious or concerning activity. Each SEE/SAY report helps us create a safer learning environment for all.
