The Power of Kindness

"When you are kind to others, it not only changes you, it changes the world." -Harold Kushner

Ben’s Bells Kindness Project

This month we will launch the kindness and social skills program at our school. Research shows that school climate is the key to seeing real change in positive student behavior. The kindness project focuses on creating class expectations around kindness. Students will learn to practice intentional kindness throughout the school community. The social skills program focuses in teaching kids how to behave in different social climates and how to react to social feedback. Character education is necessary, inevitable and merits intentional focus and priority in our schools.

We encourage families to talk about what kindness means and how should people engage in social environment. Please ask your child what they have been learning and how they can apply it in every place they go. Help your child practice being a caring and compassionate human being. Thank you for your support!
