Kindness is contagious, and we’re celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week by challenging our students, staff, and community to spread a little extra positivity! Join us in completing these simple daily kindness challenges:

Give at least 3 genuine compliments to classmates, staff, friends, or family members.

🌟 Tuesday – Thank You Day
Write a thank-you note or message to someone who makes a difference in your life.

🌟 Wednesday – Helping Hand Day
Offer to help someone without being asked — hold the door, help with homework, help a teacher, or assist someone who needs it.

🌟 Thursday – Inclusion Day
Sit with someone new, invite someone to join your group, or make an effort to talk to someone you don’t know well.

🌟 Friday – Community Kindness Day
Do something kind for our school or community — clean up around the building, pick up trash, or leave an encouraging note for someone to find.

📸 We’d love to see kindness in action! Share your moments of kindness and help us spread positivity throughout our school and community.

Remember: Even small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference. 💛
