As we continue to focus on building our students' personal awareness and sense of community, Grauer Elementary has connected with The Kelty Foundation to focus on kindness for the month of February. Various classrooms have been participating in "Kind Mind Month", using resources and videos provided by the Kelty Foundation. Classes participate in mini-lessons and can take home kindness challenges, where students learn to recognize their own feelings, so they can be kind to themselves, as well as each other. At the end of "Kind Mind Month", the school comes together for a dance celebration led by DJ Rock'n Beau from the Kelty Foundation. Throughout the celebration, DJ Beau stresses the importance of kindness to self and others. This initiative has been a great opportunity for teachers to engage in discussions and activities with their students that focus on mental health and well-being. A huge thank-you to Ms. Toffolo and Ms. Kolosoff for organizing our "Kind Mind Month"
