Kindness is Cool at Golda Och Academy

twhimsLeave a comment

Golda Och AcademyWe 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.”

Kindergarten Heroes filled Sycamore Drive Early Learning CenterThe sound of almost 300 Kindergarten students chanting, “It’s cool to be kind!” was heartwarming this morning at our visit to Sycamore Drive Early Learning Center in Hazlet, New Jersey.

Each student wore a cape purchased by the school PTO. The school, which is made up of 10 Kindergarten classrooms and several preschool classes, had a Wear The Cape bulletin board prepared for our visit . They sent home our Hero frame as a follow up activity for their students and plan to put the frames around the bulletin board.

Kindergarten Heroes filled Sycamore Drive Early Learning CenterWe were delighted to visit Sycamore Drive students again this year. The students quickly mastered our “STOP AND THINK” Hero Strategy, and often cheered, “Heroes always help!”

Thank you, Kindergarteners, for being BETTER THAN THAT(tm) and for being heroes!

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.
