\"\"<\/a>Like many schools, Shelton Park Elementary has kindness activities during the entire school year. In addition to Virginia Kindness Week, students and staff observe Kindness Month.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re participating in a food drive that will help stock the food pantry at a local church.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThroughout all of February, we\u2019ll be celebrating kindness in meaningful ways,\u201d said principal Tara Brewer. \u201cThis year, we\u2019re hosting a canned food drive as part of a service project with our Anchored4Life<\/a> team. The team will be tracking donations and promoting awareness all month long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anchored4Life<\/a> clubs provides opportunities for military-connected student to enhance social skills, learn leadership skills, build character, improve self-esteem, and integrate into their community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the food drive, we\u2019re spotlight kindness with \u2018random catches of kindness,\u2019 similar to our \u2018Paw-sitive Paws\u2019 initiative,\u201d Brewer said about the Shelton Park Lions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>She recently asks residents at The Gardens of Virginia Beach senior living community to help spread kindness by writing positive messages on sticky notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir incredible response led to over 1,000 heartfelt notes,\u201d Brewer said. \u201cThese uplifting messages will be displayed on classroom doors and walls throughout the school as a Valentine\u2019s Day surprise for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

To keep the theme alive, Shelton Park will also include intentional reminders about kindness in the morning announcements.<\/p>\n

\u201cStaff can use these messages to spark discussions during morning meetings and encourage students to spread kindness throughout their day,\u201d Brewer said.<\/p>\n
