Southside Elementary News
Week of 1/28/19
From Mrs. Allen
The Great Kindness Challenge
Parents,
Next week, Southside will be participating in our annual “Great Kindness
Challenge”. Each day, classes will be challenged with a kindness activity or action
to display throughout that day. Additionally, there will be another kind act that
they can show for the overall Kindness BINGO challenge that will take place
throughout the week. Most of the actions from the Kindness BINGO card are to
be taken place at school. Please help encourage your child to participate in the
Kindness BINGO and challenge activities by talking with them about the
importance of each activity. Once your student has their BINGO card complete,
they will get their picture displayed in the cafeteria, showing their commitment
to The Great Kindness Challenge. Students in Grades K-2 should complete a
regular bingo (any 5 across or diagonal). Our 3rd and 4th grade students will need
to complete the entire BINGO card.
We hope that you will get involved in this exciting kindness challenge!

Back Car/Walkers
If you walk to meet your child in the back car area to get them and walk them home, you must have a car tag or a driver's license to identify yourself. You will be asked for these for identification purposes. This is the same procedure that we would take if you were in a car in order to ensure the safety of our students.
