This month’s Character Education lessons will focus on the power of kindness — showing compassion, respect, and care for others.
To put our theme into action, our homerooms are competing in a Kindness Challenge! 🍕✨
The homeroom that collects the most toiletry donations will win a Pizza Party! 🎉
🧴 Donations may include items such as:
Toothbrushes & toothpaste
Deodorant
Hair brushes
Body powder
Q-tips
…and more!
📦 All donations will be given to local shelters and missions to support those in need.
📅 The last day to turn in donations is Tuesday, September 30th.
Let’s fill this month with kindness and show how big the Barton Bears’ hearts really are! 💛🐾
