What is the Great Kindness Challenge? The Great Kindness Challenge is a positive and uplifting program that creates a culture of kindness in schools, communities, and the world. Using a 50 item checklist, schools and families are challenged to complete as many acts of kindness as possible.
Here are just a few reasons why Kindness matters!
Kindness is contagious!
Kindness increases self esteem!
Kindness creates happiness!
Kindness boosts health!
Kindness improves relationships!
We hope you will join us as we display and show acts of kindness! Our hope is that you would do it as a family, and as a result, make someone's day a little brighter. The check lists are below! If you would like a pdf emailed to you, please send an email to: april.tilden@granitemountain.org and we will get you one right away.
Inspire others with your kindness! The Great Kindness Challenge has its own hashtag, which is #GKCfamily . Don't forget to add #GraniteMountain to your posts as well!
Feel free to check out the GKC website for more information, or to register your family (not required).
Inspiring Parents
Parents learned a bit during last Wednesday’s Inspiring Parents webcast which asked the questions: Am I Doing Enough? Am I Doing This Right?. The session was recorded. It helps a lot if you click on the link below which automatically collects your email into a spreadsheet which makes it easier to respond to the hundreds of requests for the link to the webcast recording and resources. http://bit.ly/InspiringParents_010820
