Tyendinaga Public School issues kindness challenge

        Random Acts of Kindness Week begins Monday March 5 and students in Dolores Hachey's Grade six class at Tyendinaga Public School are starting a ripple that they hope grows into a wave.
        It started with a challenge to other classes and now the challenge has been issued to every school in the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. Tyendinaga Public School is challenging students, staff and community members to commit random acts of kindness and submit kindness stories to their website, "The Kindness Zone". Any act of kindness, big or small counts.
        "The big thing is to share the stories and watch the chain of kindness grow," said Principal Jan Coombs.
The challenge is running for the whole month of March and you can log on to share your kindness stories at www.hpedsb.on.ca/tyend/kindness.htm. Students will be checking in to track the stories and watch the kindness wave grow.
