🍪💙💛 Our kids are going CRAZY for KINDNESS…and their cookie blankets!
Students who had their completed Boarding Pass this morning collected their cookie blanket and received their Kindness Passport. Now the real challenge begins!
Students are being challenged to complete random acts of kindness at home, at school, and throughout our community. Once their Kindness Passport is complete, they can turn it in during homeroom in the morning.
🎉 Starting next week, we’ll begin drawing names from completed Kindness Passports for PRIZES!
Haven’t turned in a Boarding Pass yet? There’s still time! Students can turn in their completed Boarding Pass along with the completion code any day this week to receive their cookie blanket and Kindness Passport.
Let’s keep spreading kindness, Golden Eagles! 🦅💙💛
