It’s Cool to Be Kind at Assumption School

Assumption School 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.

Assumption School 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 Woodmont Elementary School!

Woodmont Elementary School, in Pine Brook, New Jersey, showed us how cool it is to be kind, when we presented our Hero Assembly to their students and staff. The students shouted out, “It’s cool to be kind!” during our show. They participated in our role plays with lots of laughs and cheers. They were enchanted with our Cape Kid videos, and immediately started using the Hero Strategies that were taught.

As a school-wide initiative, the students and staff are completing a five-week Kindness Challenge, where they are hoping to track 300 Random Acts of Kindness, in that time frame. We were happy to motivate and encourage all students to participate in this challenge. As well, we brainstormed many ways that individual students can perform Random Acts of Kindness to add to their Kindness Challenge Board.

PTO members and teachers thanked us for visiting, sharing that our program was “Amazing,” and “Just what we needed!”

Thank you Woodmont for choosing to Wear The Cape and spread kindness throughout your school and community.

McGinn School is BETTER THAN THAT™

McGinn SchoolToday we visited the McGinn School, in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, where we presented two HERO assembly programs to their K-2 grade and 3-4th grade students.

The faculty and students of McGinn were so engrossed in our Hero videos that you could hear a pin drop in the room. They immediately began using the super hero strategies we taught during our program. At the end of our assembly, all stood up, in their best super hero pose, and cheered, “I will be a hero!”

After our first show, one second grader stepped out of his class line with an important message for his principal. He stopped and said, “Thank you SO much for bringing this assembly to our school.” The principal told us she has never had a student go out of his way to thank her for such a wonderful assembly. We are so honored that you loved our program!

McGinn SchoolAs we approach the end of the Week of Respect, we remind you that you can be a HERO to someone every day, not just during one week in October. We encourage you to stand up for others, to choose to do the right thing, and to be BETTER THAN THAT™ – better than poor choices, better than others who are not being heroic, and better than what’s not right.

BE A HERO! We believe in you and are counting on you to stand up and choose kindness!
