Random Acts of Kindness Week
Saturday, February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day so we are going to do random acts of kindness throughout the entire week. Each day students and staff will be encouraged to do something to sprinkle kindness throughout our building and even our community. I've created a template for the "happy note" and "thank you note" for you to use if you'd like.
I will email you the template.
ABC Wellness Challenge
For the months of February and March, we are going to try a new staff wellness challenge.
This challenge will take the place of the monthly “Step Challenge.”
Self-care is so important and there are many ways to focus on self-care.
Our “ABC Wellness Challenge” focuses on multiple ways to ensure you are making time for yourself!
Below are the many ways you can earn points throughout a given day.
At the end of the day, log your total points here and earn a chance to win a $25 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: YOU DESERVE IT!
