My Project
Kindness is cool! In our school students sometimes struggle with treating each other with kindness and respect. These materials would help me supplement SEL teaching in the library as well as provide opportunities for students to work together collaboratively toward fostering a kind and respectful learning environment.
The books would help me teach; the art supplies would then allow students to create posters showing how we can all treat each other with kindness.
We would be able to hang the posters around the library and the school thus providing encouragement and reminders to all that: Kindness is Cool!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
