CATCH YOUR CHILD BEING KIND AT HOME
The GRF Parent Support Team invites you to Catch Your Child Being Kind at HOME
during the GRF Kindness Week from February 13 - 17.
WHEN YOU SEE YOUR CHILD BEING KIND AT HOME...
1. Fill out a "Caught You Being Kind" Card (attached) sharing what they did to show
kindness. Please put their first and last name too.
2. Have your child bring it to school and put it in the "Leave a Heart" Envelope near the Wall of Kindness.
3. Your child will be entered into a drawing for a small surprise at the end of the week.- Also, Your child will be entered into a drawing for a Family Fun Pack at the Archery Tournament on March 10th/11th too!
4. You and your family can also post something on social media about how your child
or your family showed kindness using #GRFKindnessWeek.
**If you need more "Caught You Being Kind" Cards, your child can get some from a teacher**
KIND WORDS ARE SHORT AND EASY TO SPEAK, BUT THEIR ECHO IS TRULY ENDLESS.

Destination Imagination is also holding a Chicken Noodle Dinner before PINGO in the Pine Crest cafeteria. Chicken Noodles will be served from 11:00-1:00. It is a free-will donation, and all the proceeds will go towards the Destination Imagination teams' competitions. Thanks for your support of our GRF students!
