Morongo Unified School District students participated in this year’s Great Kindness Challenge.
The Challenge, now in it’s thirteenth year, asks students to conduct intentional acts of kindness, and students at at Twentynine Palms Elementary School. Joshua Tree Elementary School, Twentynine Palms Elementary School, Oasis Elementary School and Twentynine Palms High School joined 20 million more students across all 50 states and 115 countries.
Each MUSD school held their own spirit week with dress-up days that promoted specific acts of kindness, and students were given a checklist filled with intentional acts of kindness. Students were encouraged to complete each kind act over the course of the week, as well as participating in additional events like a Kindness Challenge Spirit Week!
Some of the items on the checklist include: smile at 25 people, help your teacher with a needed task, read a book
to a younger student and sit with a new group of kids at lunch. The MUSD wants to remind you that big or small, every act of kindness makes a difference.
