Kids Kindness Challenge
Wild Maine, an entirely volunteer-driven organization, presents the "Kids Kindness Challenge"! Wild Maine invites kids to engage in service, perform acts of kindness, and inspire moments of gratitude throughout the month of February. They are hoping to engage kids in activities every day throughout the month that connect them with themselves, their community, and their local environment. Challenges range from writing letters of gratitude to teachers to performing acts of kindness for their families. They are simple, age-appropriate and aim to inspire acts of intention over the course of the month. It's free to register and Dike-Newell Students have been invited to participate! The Bath YMCA donated 100 visitor passes that will be given to the first 100 kids who register.
Families CAN! has several upcoming parenting enrichment programs that are all FREE, and open to any parent, caregiver or community member. Currently, all programs are being offered by Zoom.
