Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are continuing to create a culture of kindness at Mitchell Middle School. Our school will join hundreds of schools across the country for the 2018 Great Kindness Challenge. Your child is part of a powerful and positive bullying prevention initiative that will lead to more kindness, unity and respect.
To help multiply this momentum, we are participating in a service project called the “Tin for the Kindness Bin Challenge.” We are collecting no-perishable food, preferably food in Tin Cans. Students are encouraged to bring the items and place their donation in the Kindness Bin that will be placed by the front of the school. between January 29 and February 1. All food collected will be donated to a charity that supports people in need in the Steinbach community. We have a school to collect 500 cans of food!
This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about accepting others, expand their compassion and become active citizens.
