Stepping Stones families, Check out this month's newsletter! https://secure.smore.com/n/5edu2

During the month of February, we will be celebrating #KindnessMonth. 😍 We hope that you take the time to participate in #RandomActsofKindness. There are three simple steps to performing Random Acts of Kindness. Find out what another person needs; think about how you would feel if you had that need; and finally, offer your help! As you go throughout the day, remember to show empathy. Kindness and empathy are closely related: kindness is simply empathy in action. When we understand how someone feels and then do something about it, we are showing kindness. Remember, people will never forget how you made them feel. 🫶 🩷February 3 (Monday) • Challenge: “Mix it up! Sit with someone at lunch who you wouldn’t usually sit with.” • Flo Kindness Tour: Sierra Elementary 🩷February 4 (Tuesday) • Challenge: “Let someone go ahead of you in a line today.” • Challenge: High-five people in your class or someone in the hallway! 🩷February 5 (Wednesday) • Challenge: “Wish the first person you see an amazing day!” • Flo’s Kindness Tour: Roadrunner Food Bank @ Reiner Steinhoff Soccer Complex 🩷February 6 (Thursday) • Challenge: High-five people in your class or someone in the hallway! 🩷February 7 (Friday) • Challenge: Offer to help someone without being asked. #Allin4OurKids #hereforthekids

❤️Our school district is proud to say that we love all of our students! In our continuing effort to create a culture of kindness in all of our schools, during February, the month of love and friendship, Kindness Month, and National Random Acts of Kindness Week, we are issuing a Kindness Challenge to all our students, staff, and community! This challenge is dedicated to building on our culture of kindness and compassion and increasing student, family, and community engagement. 🥰 The purpose of this month-long event is to foster an environment that values the importance of being kind all year long. Studies have shown that promoting kindness among youth promotes self-confidence, positivity, and increased happiness. 🫶 To help our students practice kindness and act on their compassion, they will receive a list of Kindness Conversation Starters. We encourage all students, staff, and families to complete and practice as many acts of kindness as possible at school, at home, and in our community.
