We are excited to announce that Lincoln School will be proudly participating in the Great Kindness Challenge during February this year! Our students will be joining over 20 million students from more than 41,000 schools, across 115 countries to show that kindness matters during the 2024 Great Kindness Challenge. Your child will be a part of this powerful and positive bullying prevention initiative that helps to create a culture of kindness, unity, and respect. This year’s theme is Create Kindness! Here are some of the activities we have planned for the 2024 Great Kindness Challenge:
● Great Kindness Challenge (GKC) Checklists ● Kindness Bulletin Board featuring 100 Acts of Kindness ● Spirit Week (February 12-16) ● School to School Kindness Activities ● Kindness Lessons ● Community Service Projects ● Family Kindness Activities
