Take The Great Kindness Challenge
Dear Educational Leaders and Colleagues,
I am thrilled to share that I am an official Kindness Ambassador for The Great Kindness Challenge. I wholeheartedly support this grassroots initiative and I would like to invite your school/school district/county to participate in this powerful, positive and proactive program.
The Great Kindness Challenge (January 25-29, 2016) is a week-long bullying prevention initiative that is FREE and extremely EASY to implement. Using the provided checklist of 50 kind acts, students – kindergarten through high school – accept the challenge and prove that bullying is weak and kindness is strength. You will see increased student engagement and improved school climate. Learn more & create a culture of kindness on your campus!
Kindly,
Mandy Ellis
“Every school in America should participate in The Great Kindness Challenge. It not only helps to elevate the school climate, it’s a highly effective tool in engaging all students, staff and community members. So simple, so powerful”. – Garry Grotke, 2013 California Elementary Principal of the Year
“The Great Kindness Challenge provided an opportunity for our students to care for each other in ways that went above and beyond their normal interactions. As a result, we noticed a real impact on the school’s culture with a decrease in bullying and an increase in compassion, unity and respect.” – Chad Lund, Elementary Principal
