KINDNESS CREW

 

Kindness Crew is a kindness-based leadership program specifically for our 5th graders. The goal is to create a team of students in our school with the sole purpose of inspiring and carrying out acts of kindness throughout the year toward the entire student body! Our Kindness Crew motto is: Be Confident, Be Courageous, Be Kind.

 

The PTA has purchased  a special t-shirt for every 5th grader and will host a lunch for every class along with Dr. Hobin and Ms. Gonzalez. During this lunch we talk about what it means to be kind to yourself and others and since 5th graders are the leaders in the school, they set a good example!

 

We will send shirts home with your student the day before their lunch (or have the shirts at school the day of). These are for them to keep and wear on their Kindness Crew lunch days! We will also send a personality quiz home with them. This is one of the activities we will discuss during the lunch.
