A lot of our efforts in school seem to deal with problems. It is important to remember to focus on the good things around us as much as we can, and to teach our children to do the same. I can’t think of a better way to start 2016 than to focus on the good in our children, and in our school.
BEST has taken up The Great Kindness Challenge for the month of January, which we kicked off today with an assembly and family group project. Various activities will take place throughout the month, including dress up days (15th & 21st), with an emphasis on kindness. Acts of kindness don't have to be huge- just a smile can brighten someone's day. And did you know that one single, simple act of kindness can ripple outward like a pebble thrown into a pond? Together we can raise awareness of the power we all have to make the world a better place, every day, with even the simplest of acts. Now I am passing the challenge on to you.
