Elementary schools in the Locust Valley Central School District took part in The Great Kindness Challenge from Jan. 22-26 by learning about love and respect inside and outside of the classroom.
The Great Kindness Challenge provides participating schools with a list of small acts of kindness for students to do with their friends and family, including sharing snacks with a friend, volunteering in their communities and complimenting classmates.
On Jan. 22 and 23, each school welcomed award-winning singer/songwriter Jared Campbell to spread his message of treating people with love and respect. Throughout the week, each school also had themed days that gave students a chance to dress up in superhero, sports, crazy socks and tie-dye to give them a chance to express themselves.
