Summit Cove is pleased to include learning from the Random Acts of Kindness organization. The Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation is a small nonprofit that invests their resources into making kindness the norm. They are rooted in the belief that all people can connect through kindness and that kindness can be taught.
Our students are active participants in creating a culture of kindness at school. The framework used includes a cycle of sharing, inspiring, empowering, acting and reflecting through the following concepts:
- Respect
- Caring
- Inclusiveness
- Integrity
- Responsibility
- Courage
