Kindness Campaign
Full Description:
The Kindness Campaign has been going strong! Trained seventh and
eighth grade “Respect Mentors” continue to meet with me every
Thursday during their Home Room period to learn new respect and
kindness activities to take back to teach their individual Home Rooms.
The current topic in “humor”! KMS is learning the value of humor that’s
used in appropriate and fun ways. There is scientific proof of the power
of laughing to relieve stress. The activities will culminate with Home
Room joke-a-thons where each student is asked to share some type of
joke or funny story with their group.
April 11 was an all-school Kindness Day. While language arts teachers
were busy with a curriculum collaboration day, all KMS students met
with adult Kindness CampaignTask Force members to experience various
activities teaching cooperation, listening skills, and appreciating each
other’s differences.
The KC Task Force will meet the morning of Thursday, April 12 working
with the International Training Association from the grant to develop
their own Respect Day. This Task Force consisted of four KMS staff
members, four KHS student respect mentors, four KHS seventh grade
respect mentors (Hailey Gentry, Casey Murphy, Eli Crespin, and Wyatt
Trull) and CPTO co-chairman, Kathi Eliason. On Friday, April 13, fifty
sixth graders will join the Task Force for their Respect Day in the KMS
Commons. The goal is to spread the word of kindness throughout the
district. These trained sixth graders will be able to share what they
learn with their classmates at the various elementary schools.
April 16—20 will be the KC poster contest. CPTO is sponsoring this so
every KMS student will have the chance to create a poster with
messages about kindness. After they have been judged, all posters will
be dispersed throughout the grade schools. Let the kindness continue!
