January 28 - February 1

Our Plans for the Week

Throughout the week:

Kindness Challenge Checklists Pre-K - 3rd grade students will have a hard copy of their checklist and 4th - 6th grade students will download theirs to their ipad. There is a Family Edition checklist below OR you can download the Great Kindness Challenge app on your phone!

Kind Coins Campaign Students can bring in loose change for the Kind Coins project. This year we are joining with other schools around the world to help build a medical facility in Liberia. See the video below to learn more about this great project!

Shoe Drive Bring in those outgrown shoes to help a local organization, Pathway to Hope, raise funds for a new mental health "Clubhouse" in Johnson County! Pathway to Hope is a non-for-profit organization that supports individuals and families facing mental illness. The shoes collected in the United States are given another life and sold to micro-entrepreneurs for a small cost. These micro-entrepreneurs are facing systemic poverty and lack of education and economic opportunity. They are able to mark-up the shoes and sell them in their local communities for a fraction of their original price, but still for a profit!
