Kindness Week
Sometimes, it’s important to take a pause from our busy daily lives—to breathe, reflect, and show gratitude. At Grace Place, Kindness Week was a special reminder for our students to do just that: to slow down, be mindful, and embrace kindness in every part of their lives.
Throughout the week, students participated in activities that encouraged them to think about how their actions affect others, to express gratitude, and to practice simple acts of kindness every day. Each day featured a focused activity: writing or drawing what kindness looks like on individual puzzle pieces that formed a heart; decorating colorful hearts to illustrate how kindness makes them feel; creating “proud clouds” and kindness posters; and tracing “helpful hands” to highlight acts of kindness they experienced or shared. These collaborative creations came together as one large display for staff and students to enjoy.
From sharing compliments and helping classmates to thoughtful gestures around campus, our students learned that even small acts can make a big difference.
Kindness Week is more than just a celebration—it’s an opportunity to teach values that foster compassion, empathy, and a positive community. By encouraging students to be thoughtful and considerate, we hope to nurture habits that extend beyond the classroom and into all areas of their lives.
We are proud of our students for embracing this week with open hearts and for reminding all of us that taking a moment to be kind is always worthwhile.
