Movie Week#BeKind21

september  4th - October 2nd

Lafayette Elementary prepares to make Kindness a Habit!

 

We are partnering with the city of Lafayette and joining Born This Way Foundation on their challenge to make kindness a habit. It reportedly takes 21 days to build a habit, we're making Kindness one of them.

 

What does #BeKind21 hope to accomplish?
From the Born This Way Foundation: BeKind21 is an invitation to think about and prioritize how you are caring for yourself and how you’re taking care of those around you. We hope #BeKind21 is an opportunity for students, teachers, and families to kick off the new school year by establishing kinder habits that will last all year and for everyone else to head into fall with spirits of compassion and action.

 

What will #BeKind21 look like at our school?

We will launch our #BeKind21 challenge with a banner reminding our student's to be the "I" in Kind and the "Kid" in Kind. Come by and get your picture taken!

 

Look for our suggested Kind Acts Poster to help remind you to do at least one act of kindness a day. Pretty soon, kind will be who you are first before anything else!  Our Kind Acts will also be listed on our PTA Calendar.

 

Your teachers may discuss Kindness and what it means to you in your classrooms.

 

We will post approved social media #BeKind21 content on our Social Media sites so follow LES and keep in touch!
