This week, our students from PreK through 3rd Grade will participate in a school-wide "Dolly Kindness Week," inspired by the generous spirit, bright smile, and big heart of Dolly Parton!
Each morning, our students will kick off the day with a special school-wide "Dolly Kindness Tip of the Day." We will focus on how small, free acts of kindness can make a massive difference in our community.
Here is what we will practice and how you can keep the magic going at home:
🦋 Bright Smile Challenge: We will practice flashing warm smiles to brighten people's days. Ask your child to show you their biggest "Dolly Smile!"
🦋 Coat of Many Colors: Inspired by Dolly's famous story, we will learn that kindness doesn't cost a thing. Talk with your child about ways your family can use "helping hands" for neighbors or relatives.
🦋Words are Like Seeds: We will practice giving sincere compliments to our classmates. Try sharing a specific compliment with each family member at dinner.
🦋School Helper Shout-Outs: We are going to go out of our way to say a loud, proud "Thank you!" to our school custodians, cooks, office staff, and bus drivers. Your family can give shout-outs too! Send notes to school, send an email to the leaders to share with them about any staff member you want, or give them a positive shout-out on social media!
🦋Shine Like a Star: Our focus will be on inclusion, making sure no one feels left out on the playground or anywhere at DP!
Thank you for partnering with us to raise kind, caring, and helpful world-changers! We can all learn from being a little more kind, like Dolly was!🦋🎶
