THE GREAT KINDNESS CHALLENGE
January 14-18, 2013 Solana Santa Fe will be participating in the Great Kindness Challenge. The program is sponsored by the Student Council. We will have a week devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible on campus. Students will be given a check list of 50 kind acts, and will do their best to complete the checklist and prove that bullying is weak and kindness is strength.
Our goal is to ignite a culture of kindness at SSF. Students can work independently, in small groups or as a whole class to complete all 50 challenges. I will have your child put his/her list in the plastic envelope that goes home every day with their books so that you can be sure to see it.
The Great Kindness Challenge started as an annual global event hosted by Kids for Peace, a San Diego based global nonprofit.
