October is Bullying Prevention Month, and our Student Support Specialists are excited to introduce the Random Act of Kindness Challenge! This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage acts of kindness throughout our school and to strengthen our sense of community. Their goal is to help make our Viking CommUNITY shine brighter with thoughtful and caring actions, showing students what it truly means to be a Viking.

Here’s how it works:

• Staff will recognize students as they demonstrate acts of kindness throughout the school.
• The student will be presented with a raffle ticket
• Students will write their names on the raffle ticket and turn it in to the box located by the switchboard for a chance to win prizes.
• The challenge will run from 10/7 through 10/31.

Please check out this slide show designed by the Student Support Specialists with more information!
