Students and staff enjoyed spirit dress-up days and daily activities, and individual classes created their own independent kindness initiatives. The school’s Google Classroom also housed videos, books, quotes, activities and resources for classroom teachers. The colorful bulletin boards in the hallways share messages to make anyone smile.

Daily themes included “Favorite Team Gear,” “Peace, Love and Kindness,” “Crazy for Kindness Day,” during which lots of crazy clothes, hairstyles and funky socks were worn; “Dreaming of Kindness Day,” in which many wore pajamas or cozy clothes; and “Kindness Spirit Wear,” when students wore shirts with messages of kindness.

The annual event, coordinated by school counselor Jamie Adamski, is an encouraging way for students to gain the social-emotional skills to help improve school climate, increase student engagement and create a culture of kindness.
