It’s Cool to Be Kind at Assumption School

October 30, 2019 twhimsLeave a comment

The staff and students of Assumption School, in Morristown, New Jersey have shown us that they are Better Than That! We were honored to perform two assemblies, one for grades K-4 and a second for grades 5-8.

When asked, “Who do you know who wears a cape?” the students at Assumption School didn’t reply with the typical superhero, they replied with the names of their peers and classmates who stood out by choosing to be kind and heroic.

This was a first for us at Wear The Cape and we could not be more proud! The students of Assumption School embraced the mission of Wear The Cape by showing us and others that it’s “Cool to Be Kind.” They promised to be heroic and BETTER THAN THAT, both in school and in their daily lives.

After the assembly, three students approached us to thank us for coming to their school. They said they loved the message and were excited to use the strategies we taught them. We were touched and honored to hear how well our message of kindness is being received.

Kindness is Cool at Golda Och Academy

We spent the afternoon at Golda Och Academy in West Orange, New Jersey, where we presented two of our Hero Assemblies to children in grades K-2 and grades 3-5.

Kindness is everywhere at Golda Och Academy. The school has encouraging messages promoting kindness and good character around every corner. The school is so committed to kindness, that they hired a professional artist to write “kindness reminders” in the bathrooms.

Inclusion was a big topic that we discussed today. Through our Hero Strategies students learned the importance of including others. They also understood the necessity of using their voices to promote kindness and making it “COOL TO BE KIND.”

Celebrating the WEEK OF RESPECT With Amazing Heroes

Today we had the privilege of visiting JFK school in Jamesburg, NJ this morning, to kick off their Week of Respect.

At JFK school, we were greeted by a student body dressed as superheroes. With capes, superhero clothing, and bright smiles, they excitedly engaged in all the interactive role- plays throughout the program.

It was a delight to hear students using our STOP AND THINK hero strategy immediately. Teachers, PTO, guidance, and the principal all said the program was “fabulous,” and they were eager to see the students use our strategies in the school day, and their daily life.

This afternoon, we enjoyed our time spent with the students at Chiddick Elementary School, in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The school was filled with heroes. Each one of the students and teachers proved that they Wear the Cape everyday by sharing how cool it is t be kind to one another.

One first grader spoke volumes when she stated, “Just be nice. That’s what heroes do.” Let’s use this sweet girl as an example of how we should always behave.
