The Mitchell School is participating in The Great Kindness Challenge again this year. It is one school week (January 23-27) devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible, choosing from one of the checklists below. Help us create a culture of kindness in our school and community. It is free, is easy to implement and has the power to increase tolerance, unity and respect for all. Our school is proudly participating in this proactive, positive, nation-wide bully prevention program.
You will see one of the checklists below in your child's red folder on January 23. We have many fun activities planned for the week. Keep scrolling down -- links to videos and songs and a booklist are shared below. Thank you for supporting this initiative in our community.
