My Project

In our classroom, we believe in the power of kindness to transform lives and communities. Our Kindness Crew will foster an environment where small acts of kindness create meaningful ripples throughout our school. With your generous support, we aim to elevate this initiative by incorporating flexible seating and providing our team with new t-shirts.

Flexible seating is more than just a classroom trend; it’s a proven strategy that enhances student engagement and collaboration.

According to Marzano’s "The Art and Science of Teaching," a dynamic classroom environment can significantly improve student focus and motivation. By introducing flexible seating, we aim to create a comfortable and stimulating learning space where students feel empowered to express themselves and engage in creative acts of kindness.

The Kindness Crew, a dedicated team of students, has inspired our school with their heartfelt initiatives. Last year, their impactful activity of greeting families with inspirational posters set a positive tone for the entire school community. This year, we plan to strengthen our identity and unity by providing matching t-shirts for our crew. These t-shirts symbolize our shared mission and help students feel part of a cohesive team dedicated to making a difference.

Your support in funding these initiatives will enable our students to continue spreading positivity and kindness.

Together, we can inspire a culture of kindness, one small act at a time, and empower our students to "Be the Good" they wish to see in the world. Thank you for considering our grant request.
