KINDNESS WEEK IS HERE
This week is the Great Kindness Challenge, which is put on by the Kids for Peace organization. CMS students and staff have discussed ideas and all week long we will be focused on kindness - to ourselves, to others, and to our world. How can you help?
- Ask your child what their class is doing for kindness week
- Read Guide emails about projects the class is doing and participate if you can
- Gather your coins! Send them to class with your student, if their room is doing that, and if not bring them in the car line on Friday when Nova students will be collecting
What are those coins for? CMS is participating in the "Kind Coins for Kenyan Kids" campaign. For every $50 we collect, we sponsor a child to attend to the Kids for Peace School in Mikei Kenya. Let's challenge our community to see how many kids we can sponsor!
Kindness is not just for School!
Of course not! In fact, it is sometimes the most difficult of all to be kind to those we are closest with. Take this week to remind yourself and your loved ones of the importance of kindness in our every day lives. Not only does it "grease the wheels" and make our days smoother, it bring joy and connection to us all.
Use this Kind Acts idea sheet to take the message of kindness into your home, out into your neighborhood and the world-wide community too. Click here to download the sheet. It will look great on your fridge!
