The Great Kindness Challenge 2019
Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the
second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.
Henry James
The Mitchell School is participating in The Great Kindness Challenge again this year. It is one school week (January 28-Feb 1) devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible. Developing the habit of kindness has the power to increase tolerance, unity and respect for all. This is the sixth year that our school has proudly participated in this proactive, positive, nation-wide bully prevention program.
You will see one of the checklists below in your child's red folder on Monday, January 28th. We have many fun activities planned for the week. Keep scrolling; links to videos, songs, a booklist, and more information about The Great Kindness Challenge are shared below. Thank you for supporting this initiative in our community.
We welcome any and all participation from parents, caregivers, and community members.
