Be Kind - A District Kindness Initiative
|
|
|
|
|
|
Through all of April, we will be practicing KINDNESS.
Lower Dauphin Communities That Care (LD CTC) and the LD Connections Club believe in a “be kind” attitude and have launched their first Kindness Initiative. We are challenging children of all ages in our community to simply be intentionally kind to one another by offering up a smile, giving a high five, befriending someone new, or in any way you like!
In addition to wearing your BE KIND shirt every Friday in April, a Kindness Challenge Calendar has been sent home with you child. Talk with you student about how they can show and spread kindness at home, at school and in our community.
BE KIND yard signs will also be availble for purchase each Friday at Parent Pick-Up. Yard signs are $5.00 each. Checks should be made out to Lower Dauphin Communities That Care.

Classroom Guest Readers Needed |
|
|
As part of the Lower Dauphin Be Kind initiative, we are looking for volunteers to serve as guest readers each Friday in April. Volunteers would be provided a book about kindness to read to one (or more) of our Kindergarten- 2nd grade classrooms. Approved clearances are required. Sign up here.
There are several 30-minute time slots and the goal is that each volunteer would be able to read to 2 classes during that time. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for more than 1 time slot. Please know that you may not be in your student's classroom.
Please email Mrs. Bruce with questions at lbruce@ldsd.org. |

Parents,
Hopefully you are hearing about Be Kind month. The kids and adults here at East Hanover have a daily assignment that revolves around thinking about others. I am seeing some great things from our kids and I must admit it is making me think about others more than I typically would. Feel free to ask your kids about what their daily goals are and even try to work on those at home!
