This week kicks off our annual A.O.K. Coin Drive. A.O.K. stands for "Acts Of Kindness." Each year students bring in (harvest) coins. The money collected is then used to help Victoria families who may need assistance during the holiday season.At Victoria, we believe all students and staff should treat others with kindness and respect. Children need specific examples of how they can demonstrate these characteristics. The following list includes other "acts of kindness" that can been given to others:
- Respect other’s rights and property
- Share with others
- Help others feel better when they're hurt or sad
- Play with a new student and help him/her make friends so he/she won't feel lonely
- Work quietly in class so others can concentrate
- Treat others the way you would like to be treated
- Politely listen when someone is telling you something
- Hold the door for a kid whose hands are full
- Use words that show kindness, such as: "please" and "thank you"
- Smile at someone
Great list! It's funny though, take a look at No. 7. You must have school on your mind- politely "lesson" ;)
