Mission/Purpose: 

Plant seeds of kindness, and watch them grow! This is our Kindness Club mantra for 2023-2024 as we are on a mission to initiate the spread of kindness around the world. Students will work hard to plant seeds of kindness by engaging in needs around us as we express empathy and affirmation to those in our local school as well as our local community. Community spread ensures everyone is impacted by kindness, and we have many initiatives planned for this year that will affect not only our local school but that will also impact our community and even reach out to potentially meet needs on a more global scale

Description of Planned Activities:                       

GLOBAL - Raise awareness of critical world needs in Kenya, Uganda, and Haiti via 410Bridge.org where students and teachers can donate online with their families by purchasing chickens, goats, and cows to help provide livelihood to families in these needy countries.
