Kindness Challenge
To celebrate Kindness Week, OPES will encourage all students to do something kind for someone at school and at home! Students will learn about Random Acts of Kindness at school and complete individual and class challenges that promote kind behaviors. Our theme for this year is “The Amazing Race: Kindness Challenge”.
Starting Monday March. 26, students can stop by the hallway to the guidance office and pick a kindness "challenge" from the Kindness Week "Amazing Kindness Race" challenge board. Students will then work to complete their challenge throughout the day. Students will also be working as a class to complete kindness challenges throughout the week. Be sure to ask your student(s) what challenges they are completing in class.
You can learn more about our Amazing Race Kindness Challenge by watching the below video, staring the OPES S.T.O.P. Club:
