The Great Kindness Challenge is a positive and uplifting program that creates a culture of kindness in schools, communities, and the world. Using a 50-item checklist, schools and families are challenged to complete as many acts of kindness as possible. As part of this event, we created a Parent and Community Appreciation Night open to our students and their parents as a way to create quality parent/child experiences and foster the home/school connection. Our families participated in activities such as canvas painting, cupcake decorating, flower arranging, t-shirt decorating, Zumba and group exercise, dancing and more.
