Kindness week
At Westgate, we believe in promoting kindness every single day. During the week of Valentine's Day, however, we traditionally focus on celebrating and prioritizing acts of kindness as a way to show our love, admiration and appreciation for one another and for our community. Just because we are navigating COVID this year does not mean we cannot continue to celebrate and promote kindness, it might just look a little different!
This year we are challenging our community to perform at least 200 acts of kindness as a school. We invite you to document and share your acts of kindness with us! Each day has a kindness type/ style and a challenge that goes with it. You can follow the suggestions for each day and document the kind act. Please share by using the hashtag #ShareYourKindness to tag your act of kindness on social media (social media tips are below), or you can send a picture or video directly to [email protected]. The week will culminate in a reimagined Kindness Day where we will collect cards and letters of appreciation and then Admin will deliver via contactless delivery to local first responders, essential workers, and seniors at Bonaventure.
2/8 Monday - Words of Affirmation, Encouragement and Love
· Write a letter, send a text, or make a phone call to someone you appreciate
· Send messages (letter, texts, etc.) to five people with whom you’d like to send words of affirmation
2/9 Tuesday - Acts of Service
· Do something kind (like a conscious act of kindness) for someone today
· Share a compliment, smile (even behind your mask, your eyes will smile too!) at somebody, help clean up, etc.!
2/10 Wednesday - Quality Time
· Enjoy intentional quality time with someone in your bubble
· Play a board game, make dinner together and eat around a table, read a book, take a walk, etc.!
2/11 Thursday – A Day of Giving
· Share a gift with someone (you don’t need money to give a gift!)
· Cook a meal, bake a treat, make a craft or just give something from your heart to someone else!
2/12 Friday - Kindness Day Reimagined
· Throughout the week, we will collect letters for essential workers and first responders. Admin will complete a contactless delivery on this day!
· Free Kindness Day! How many acts of kindness can you give today?
