๐This week, we celebrate National Random Acts of Kindness Week. We hope that you continue taking the time to participate in Random Acts of Kindness.

Do you have a friend that you can always depend on? Has one of your teachers taken the extra time to help you learn something new? Try to find the time today to say thank you to the people who mean the most to you. Remember: a simple โthank youโ can go a long way! ๐

๐ท We know that regular school attendance is essential for student success, which is why we continue to emphasize the importance of showing up every day through our Be Here Alamo initiative. However, as flu season is upon us, we also want to make it clear that student health and well-being come firstโwe do not want students to attend school if they are sick. ๐๐ฉบ
๐ง This afternoon, an important email was sent to all parents/guardians with more details about this topic. Please check your inbox for this important information.
For more on our flu protocols, you can view the PDFs on our website: https://www.alamogordoschools.org/documents/departments/health-services/flu-season/757153+
Together, we can keep our school community healthy this flu season! ๐ช

During the month of February, we will be celebrating #KindnessMonth. ๐ We hope that you take the time to participate in #RandomActsofKindness. There are three simple steps to performing Random Acts of Kindness. Find out what another person needs; think about how you would feel if you had that need; and finally, offer your help! As you go throughout the day, remember to show empathy. Kindness and empathy are closely related: kindness is simply empathy in action. When we understand how someone feels and then do something about it, we are showing kindness. Remember, people will never forget how you made them feel. ๐ซถ

โค๏ธOur 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. ๐ฅฐ
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. ๐ซถ
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.
