Kindergarten Kindness - Connecting with Community

The Kindergarten classes from College Park School had a tremendous amount of fun as we spread kindness during the month of February. We chose to focus our efforts on seniors, the neighborhood and our school community. We knew we wanted to share kindness by making those around us happy and by being thankful. We chose to share our love of singing to make others happy. We traveled to two local senior's residences: the Hemstock and the Pioneer Lodge. We visited with the seniors, we shared some songs & cookies and we made a craft while we were there. There were lots of smiles and lots of sharing. It made our hearts very full :) We also shared our love of singing with staff members as well as our older reading buddies in the school. We then went even further into the community. We made "Thank You" cards for families in the neighborhood. Our cards were to show how grateful we are for good neighbors in the College Park community. We chose a warm day (there weren't many of those in February), we delivered them directly to homes in the area. Our February was full of love, kindness, singing and FUN! We look forward to seeing what the Grade Twos have planned!

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!
