Peer Helpers help with National Kindness Week

Spreading Kindness at PJH

(11/13) This week, we’ve been celebrating National Kindness Week, and today we’re joining others around the world in celebrating World Kindness Day!
Earlier this school year, during her school counselor intro lesson, Mrs. Cruse challenged students to think about one simple question: “How do you want to be remembered?”
They talked about how we treat others, the choices we make, and the words we say all play a part in how people remember us.
To celebrate World Kindness Day, our PJHS Peer Helpers were given a special mission: Be on the lookout for kindness!
Throughout the day, Peer Helpers watched for students showing kindness to others. When they spotted someone going out of their way to be kind, they surprised that student with a kindness bracelet as a small reminder that their actions matter!
Whether it’s including someone who feels left out, helping a classmate, offering encouragement, or simply choosing to do the right thing, kindness doesn’t have to be a big gesture to make a big difference.
We hope our students remember that people may not always remember what you said or did, but they will remember how you made them feel. 🖤💛
