Attention From The Leigh Secret Kindness Agency
The mission of the the Leigh Secret Kindness Agency is to advocate for kindness in hopes of emphasizing its importance and making a positive impact within and beyond our school and community. To assess current kindness needs, the agency conducted a survey on kindness with the junior high and high school students and made a poster that displays the results. Then, to educate others on the importance of addressing these concerns the agency developed a poster displaying the benefits of kindness. The posters are attached below. Please feel free to share and post the posters, spreading the importance of kindness, anyway you see fit.
Leigh Students' Views on Kindness
In the first ever Sixth Grade Kindness Challenge through November 9-13th, there were 144 kindness missions completed between the Leigh and Clarkson sixth grades. The challenged missions were to write a thank you note to a veteran, compliment at least five different people, do at least two extra chores at home, write a kind note to two older students, and do something kind for a younger elementary student.
The winning school was Leigh with 100% participation, Clarkson finished the challenge with 77% participation.
In addition, On November 11th, the “Kind Character” Challenge was established within the kindergarten, first, and second grade classes. Everyday, starting November 11th, each class’ teacher chooses a student who was the kindest throughout the day and recognizes them at the end of the day and week. The kind character recognized is someone who shares, compliments their classmates, says thank you, and spreads other kind acts.
