About the Project

We want to start a kindness campaign throughout our school community. We want to encourage students to be more inclusive and kind. We will learn about kindness and talk about the places you can show kindness to others: at home, at school, and in our community. We will start the year with teachers reading “The Power of One, Every Act of Kindness Counts” and “Scribble Stones” to their students. We will then bring our parent volunteers to campus and have kindness rock painting available as a choice during recess blocks. Kindness rocks will also be painted within the classrooms so all students can be involved. Students will also have the opportunity to decorate a fabric reusable bag. Classes will determine which nonprofit charity they wish to support. They will collect items to fill the bags and deliver them to various groups which might include: SPCA, Foster Youth, Mustard Seed School Supplies, Unhoused-Transitional Housing Support, or Socks/Undies Drive throughout the school year. The Kindness rocks will be used to create a “Kindness Rocks Bed” in our grassy knolls and the others will be delivered to over 300 homes around our school on Neighborhood Day.
