Making Middle School Kind

Help me give my students the materials that they need to spread a kindness message and sense of belonging in our middle school.

My Students

Our small rural school contains students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Although middle school is on the second floor and elementary is on the first, students and teachers often overlap. The elementary look forward to middle school and our middle schoolers feel a sense of responsibility to the younger grades.

Our middle schoolers want to spread kindness throughout our school to improve the culture, so they have asked if they could create a kindness club.

In this club, students plan to do different projects to make our school a kinder place for everyone who steps into it.

The first project will be to make club t-shirts, banners and decorate the hallways with positive messages. They will be designing these but need quality materials to use.

My Project

Middle school can be tough. Peer pressure is intense and students sometimes wonder where they fit in. After reading novels like Wonder and Freak the Mighty, our students realized sometimes it feels too easy to let negativity and bullying take over.

Every student needs to feel like they belong.

What a better way than have kindness club teeshirts, banners, and decorations throughout the school! Our club will know what kindness is and each member will have the materials to come up with a way to spread that message to others.

Everyone at our school will know that we are proud to be the school known for kindness.
