Dear Parents or Guardians,
Mississippi Elementary School is participating in The Great Kindness Challenge. This is a week-long program dedicated to creating a culture of kindness and compassion in communities worldwide. To help students practice kindness and put their compassion into action, they will receive a kindness challenge checklist from their teacher. We encourage all students and staff to complete as many acts of kindness as possible, at school and at home from Feb. 12-16. Together, we will lift each other up, cheer each other on, and show the world that Kindness Matters! Thank you for your support and participation!
