Greetings Advocacy Families, 

 

Tuesday, February 14th is the big day!  If you haven’t turned in a permission slip for your student, please do so now.  The weather is forecasted to be in the mid to high 40’s when students are out so we ask that you help students dress appropriately for a walk outside.  We can’t wait to visit our neighbors and share our kindness!  Parents and guardians can take part in Kindness Week too.  See details for each day below.

We are grateful for your support in modeling kindness and compassion all the time but for Kindness Week we’re asking that you take it a step further by sharing your acts of kindness with us and the world via social media and use of hashtags.   

Each day has a theme with suggested actions. You can use the suggestions or do you own thing.  It’s the doing it part that counts.   

 

2/13 Monday - Words of Affirmation, Encouragement and Love 

• Write a letter, send a text, or make a phone call to someone you appreciate 

Example:  Take a moment to send a heart-felt message. 

 

2/14 Tuesday - Acts of Service  

• Do something kind (like a conscious act of kindness) for someone today 

Example: Share a compliment, smile at somebody, help clean up, etc.! 

• Students will go into the community to share kindness cards on this day

 

2/15 Wednesday – A Day of Giving 

• Share a gift with someone (you don’t need money to give a gift!)

2/16 Thursday – Be Kind to Yourself 

• Prioritize yourself today
