Glenknoll Elementary School students and staff have been focusing on a schoolwide kindness initiative. Each week in March,the Cougars highlighted one character trait aligned with the kindness acronym ICARE: Inclusion, Courtesy, Acceptance, Respect, and Empathy.
Every Monday, the sixth grade Peer Assisted Leadership (PAL) team presented a kindness slideshow defining the word of the week, the objective, and examples of exemplary kindness acts, to each classroom. During recess and lunch, students had the opportunity to earn daily coupons, to place in a drawing, when they were “caught” being an example of the word of the week. Raffle tickets were drawn on Friday during Glenknoll’s weekly morning assembly.
Winners of the raffle will attend a celebratory pizza party with the principal. The culminating kindness activity involved PAL students teaching the ICARE lesson to younger students and helping them create a kindness quilt. The entire Glenknoll campus was overflowing with kindness and demonstrated what it truly means to CARE for others. Way to go, Glenknoll!
