The Middle School Minute

Fostering Community Through Kindness

Kindness and respectful behavior help create a positive school climate that will help our scholars thrive.

Please encourage your scholar to:

1. Care about others. It is not always obvious that people need kindness, so it is always best to be kind.
2. Use social media positively. It is best practice to not post anything on social media that you wouldn’t say in person.
3. Practice empathy. Using the practice of relatability to exercise kindness. “Remember how it felt when…”? “How do you think it might feel to …..”?
4. Befriend a variety of people. A more diverse group of friends will allow your scholar to gain more perspectives, skills and knowledge than uniform friendships.
5. Practice kindness and acknowledge others when they see kindness being practiced.
