02-09-25 - Back-to-School Message: Choose Kindness

At this time of year, we would like to remind our students of the importance of kindness as they head back to school.

For some children, returning to school is exciting, seeing friends, meeting new teachers, and getting back into routine but for others, it can feel overwhelming or even daunting.
New classmates, fresh challenges, the pressure of schoolwork, or even worries about fitting in can cause anxiety.

That’s why kindness matters more than ever.
A smile, a kind word, or simply looking out for each other can make a huge difference to someone who’s struggling.
These small acts not only help classmates feel supported, but they also build habits that make the world a better place.

Let's teach our kids that In a world where they can be anything… That they should always choose to Be Kind!
