The Great Kindness Challenge has proved to be pretty easy for our little Tigers this week. We are thankful for a kind and helpful bunch of students all year and hope that kindness week just helps reiterate how far a little kindness an go! Activities have included the Kind Acts checklist, a coloring contest, spirit week dress up days, kindness board including notes from students on how they’ve been kind or how someone was kind to them, and student council Smiles Welcome Committee just to name a few. The second graders made 0-5 addition flash cards for the whole kindergarten class, and Mrs. Dallas and Mrs. McNabb’s class helped them with their math facts! It’s been a fun week making kindness count!

Elementary Student Council members are taking The Kindness Challenge outside of school and helping a local downtown business! They worked hard this evening moving inventory from one store front to another. Kindness can be found in a simple hello, a smile, or a random act of giving, but it’s also being serving member of your community. Thank you to Mrs. Dallas for putting this together and our members who were able to attend!
