#BeHereAlamo All students deserve a chance to succeed in school. #BeHereNM

❤️Our school district is proud to say that we love all of our students! In our continuing effort to create a culture of kindness in all of our schools, during February, the month of love and friendship, Kindness Month, and National Random Acts of Kindness Week, we are issuing a Kindness Challenge to all our students, staff, and community! This challenge is dedicated to building on our culture of kindness and compassion and increasing student, family, and community engagement. 🥰 The purpose of this month-long event is to foster an environment that values the importance of being kind all year long. Studies have shown that promoting kindness among youth promotes self-confidence, positivity, and increased happiness. 🫶 To help our students practice kindness and act on their compassion, they will receive a list of Kindness Conversation Starters. We encourage all students, staff, and families to complete and practice as many acts of kindness as possible at school, at home, and in our community.
