Be Kind: Make Connections
The theme for the Be Kind Grand Prairie ISD campaign for the month of August is Be Kind: Make Connections!
Kindness is a behavior marked by a pleasant disposition and concern and consideration for others. It is considered a virtue and is recognized as a value in all cultures.
In Grand Prairie ISD, school counselors and social workers work directly with students to prevent bullying in schools, foster empathy, and good decision-making skills in students and facilitate a global perspective through community-based outreach.
Being kind often requires courage. Grow with us as we explore intentional acts of kindness.
Practice Kindness: Give honest compliments, celebrate someone you love, send an email thanking someone, tell someone how special they are to you, help a neighbor with yard work or food, open a door, listen, and refuse to gossip.
