Day School News
The Great Kindness Challenge
One Week. One Checklist. Infinite Happiness
It's so easy to be kind, and we all know that kindness really matters. So, let's all make an extra effort this next week as we join our day school students and families in participating in The Great Kindness Challenge and creating a "culture of kindness." Each family and/or child is given a list of "kind" actions to aspire to achieve January 22-29, 2018

I'm sure you can think of a list of at least 20 things you can do such as:
  • Write a kind note to a friend
  • Give 5 compliments
  • Say thank you to to everyone who helps you
  • Make a new friend
  • Bring a can of food for the food pantry
But if you're struggling, we'll have a list at the welcome table this Sunday that you can take home to work on. We hope you'll take part!
