Our sister school, Jensen Elementary, has challenged us to have our own Great Kindness Challenge. We encourage all staff, students and their families to participate in different kindness activities around their neighborhood and communities. Some examples: picking up litter at their local park, smile at everyone you see today, pick a few toys to donate, write a thank you letter, donate canned goods to local charities, give someone a flower, and many more.

Please take pictures and share them with your child’s teacher so we can share on social media and challenge another Sharyland campus.

Students, staff and parents are invited to join our 5th and 6th grade students as they compete against other Sharyland ISD elementary campuses. Please click the links below to view dates and times.
