TCS is launching a new school-wide initiative called "A Passion of Kindness," aimed at fostering a positive and supportive environment throughout our school community. Project is sponsored by the Gifted and Talented (G&T) class and is designed to recognize and celebrate acts of kindness among students, teachers, and staff.

Objective: The goal of this project is to encourage and acknowledge acts of kindness within our school community. Kind deeds will be reported and reviewed weekly by the G&T class, and every Monday morning, three individuals who have demonstrated exceptional kindness will be recognized during the school-wide announcements.

Project Components:

1. Kindness Reporting System: Students, teachers, and staff are encouraged to fill out forms reporting acts of kindness they have witnessed.

• Forms for reporting will be available at the Front Office.

• A clearly labeled submission box is located in the Front Office for ease of access

2. Weekly Review and Selection: Each Friday, the G&T class will review the submitted forms and select three individuals based on notable acts of kindness.

3. Awards and Recognition: Every Monday, during morning announcements, the three selected individuals will be publicly recognized for their kindness. They will receive custom-designed certificates and tokens of appreciation.

4. Kick-Off Announcement: We will officially launch the "A Passion of Kindness" project on September 23, 2024, with a school-wide announcement.

5. Expected Outcomes:

• Increased Kindness: We expect to see more acts of kindness and empathy within our school community.

• Student Engagement: The G&T students will gain valuable leadership and project management skills.

• Community Building: A stronger sense of community and support among students, teachers, and staff.

• Recognition and Motivation: Regular acknowledgment will encourage positive behavior and a healthier school environment.

1. Secondary teachers please stand outside your classes during transitions. Hallways need to be monitored.

2. All teachers please follow bus duty, there should be teachers on the bus to supervise students and behaviors at the end of day. Early release Wednesday we can have two teachers, one Elementary teacher and one Secondary teacher supervising as buses are full and behaviors can result.
