From the NH Kid Executive Council: Kasey's Kindness Week

I, Kasey Fitzgerald, have been working diligently since my campaign to follow through on my platform. Currently, I have created a Non-Bullying Bulletin Board at my school. This bulletin board is a collaborative board where students and teachers can take a speech bubble and write positive messages to anyone in our Pollard School community.

Also, during the month of February I have helped teachers create a Kindness Week. This week focuses on kindness to oneself and to others. During the Kindness Week, students can also participate in a spirit week. Below are the activities that students and teachers at Pollard School can take part in.

You’re Marvelous Monday
School Activity: Pick a classmate. Tell him/her why he/she is marvelous. Be ready to share at morning meeting.
★Home-School Connection: Dinnertime chat - have each person in your family go around and say why each family member is marvelous!

Together is Better Tuesday
School Activity: Strategy game day. Students and teachers will set aside time to play strategy-based games. Students will have the ability to work on their “soft skills” (interpersonal communication).
★Home-School Connection: Parents, please have your child bring in a strategy-based game (Guess Who, Connect 4, etc.) to school on this day. That night, have a family game night!

Let’s Stick with Kindness Wednesday
School Activity: Using the post-it notes provided by your teacher, write a positive sticky note and stick it somewhere random where a student or adult will find it.
★Home-School Connection: Write a thank you note for your mail person. Stick it in your mailbox.

Thoughtful Thursday
School Activity: GoNoodle activities that focus on mindfulness.
★Home-School Connection: Unplug from the use of computers, smartphones, and tablets for one night.

Fri-YAY! Spread Joy!

★Home-School Connection: Make dinner as a family or set aside time to read together.
