A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way!

Help me give my students who run our Kindness Club materials to inspire and motivate good deeds throughout the building. Snacks and giveaway trinkets are great motivators in our school. Notebooks and pencils make us official in meetings!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wright's classroom raised $400

My Project

I work in a school where we are constantly empowering scholars to be the change that they hope to see. Every day, in every possible way, we encourage our students to demonstrate STICK Values, (Self-Control, Teamwork, Integrity, Commitment, and Kindness) so that we all feel safe and can learn.

This past fall, I began a Kindness Club in hopes of further promoting this idea of getting students involved in identifying, recognizing, and rewarding acts of kindness throughout the building.

I felt very strongly about pulling about 12 students together so that they could demonstrate what kindness was all about and also strengthen their leadership skills as well.

Additionally, I hope that we can partner with our school groups and community groups to support their positive efforts.

What makes my group so special is their desire to help others. They are eager for our weekly meetings and love coming up with ideas for ways in which we can make our school better and how we can get other students to see why kindness is so very important to students wanting to attend school and for them to want to learn. All of the materials I am requesting will benefit the members of the club as well as the students throughout the school. The school supplies (notebooks, pencils, crayons) will help us stay organized and always prepared when we meet and have posters or creative things to do. The snacks will be helpful during meetings and for those after-school events that may run long. The incentive prizes will be used to recognize students who are demonstrating kindness throughout the school at any given time. Support from your organization will empower and inspire kindness from all of the scholars, and we are grateful for the consideration!
