KINDNESS CHALLENGE
To promote positive energy and kindness in our community, SPS is challenging our staff and students from all of our schools to submit kindness videos during the month of October which coincides with National Bully Prevention Month.
Our contest begins today and students will receive information about how to enter and how to create the videos from their teachers.
Each week, One student from each school that participates will be awarded an Amazon gift card. One grand prize winner will be selected at the conclusion of the contest.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with! #SPSkindnessChallenge
