September Appreciation Station

Who doesn't like to feel appreciated? As a part of their September Kindness Challenge, the grade nines created a table at the front door of the school, complete with a supply of sticky notes for students, parents and staff to post about their appreciation for others in our building.

Thank-you to our grade nine classes for taking on the first month in our year long focus on kindness.
You can continue with what they started. Did someone do something for you that you appreciate? Let them know! Tell them. Write them a note. Tell others what a positive impact they make. Keep that wave of kindness going.

Good luck to our grade seven classrooms who have had the torch passed on to them for October.

Grade 1's - Be Kind to Yourself

This month the Grade 1's challenged College Park School to be kind to yourself! Be kind to yourself - in words, action and appreciation! We had a blooming with kindness flower garden for students and staff. They were asked write something they are good at, something that makes them special, something about themselves that they hope other people know or notice. It sure turned out beautiful! Grade 1's also decorated their own doors with flowers as unique as them. Each flower had positive messages about the students which brightened up our hallways. At the beginning of the month we read a book about planting "seeds of kindness". We then planted flower seeds and watched them grow. At the end of the month, we spread our kindness to the community as we delivered the potted plants to houses around College Park. Check out their month! https://spark.adobe.com/video/hIYuUdaN9Zq3i

Grade 4 Kind to the Environment

With April being home to Earth Day, the grade four classes set our to design their kindness campaign around the environment. Each class shared environmental quotes on the school TVs to help set the theme throughout the month. During April, all Grade 4 classes took part in a Litterless Lunch challenge to help reduce our everyday garbage, and challenged other classes around the school to take part as well. At the end of the month, our school total was 984 litterless lunches! After Easter break, our students braved the snow to clean up around the paths leading away from our school. The students were surprised at the amount of things they found and were very proud of the impact that they made together. Check out some of their hilights.

Grade Five - Kindness is in the Cards

The grade five classes showed kindness in the month of November by cleaning up the boot rooms and recognizing the efforts of everyone in the building. Each staff member received a card made by the students to say thank you for contributing to our school. They loved making the cards and had a lot of fun delivering them to everyone! Check out their month of kindness video ! Next up, Grade 8!
