- Help students build a habit of kindness by doing kind acts for 21 days (and beyond!)
- Show that kindness means treating everyone with respect, support, and celebration for who they are
- Kindness helps everyone feel included and valued. It also supports students’ mental well-being.
- The whole school
- Extracurricular clubs
- School administrators (for approval)
- Club sponsors
- Announce the #BeKind365 Challenge to students and parents through a letter
- OMM club leaders pick daily acts of kindness from the website
- Display the daily kind act on a bulletin board or school calendar
- Share the kindness activity each day through school announcements
- Optional ideas:
- Set up a kindness table where OMM students can share information and volunteer opportunities
- Invite other clubs and students to join the challenge
- Have grade levels compete to see who can do the most kind acts
- Celebrate at the end with a kindness party (popcorn or pizza if the budget allows!)
- Promote the challenge with posters, newsletters, and announcements. Here are example messages you can use:
- “The world needs your kindness! Join the OMM club to #BeKind365 by doing one act of kindness for yourself and others every day for 21 days. Let’s make kindness a habit! Thanks to Born This Way Foundation, @btwfoundation.”
- “Let’s finish the semester on a kind note! Join OMM in pledging to be kind to yourself and others every day!”
- “21 days of kindness starts now—who’s in?”
- How many clubs joined the challenge?
