Goal

The goal of this project is to empower students to develop, create and implement a school wide Kindness program. This project will go hand in hand with the Collier County District's 'Buddy Bench' initiative which has the goal to make sure that every student feels included, and can identify a friend at school. Through this project each student is reminded, that kindness begins them and everyone can make a difference.  

What will be done with my students

Students will be identified as 'Friendship Leaders' and will participate in a Kindness Club. In this club, students will brainstorm, develop and implement school wide ideas to teach and encourage kindness throughout the Golden Gate Elementary School Community. Students will then use the cricut machine to create t shirts and posters to promote and remind other students of the power of kindness and friendship.  

Benefits to my students

The benefits of this project will touch the lives of many students. Some students will be empowered to reach out to other students to make a new friend, other students may be the recipient of that kindness and will feel a new sense of belonging while at school. Students will learn and practice new social skills, while experiencing how ideas, creativity and passion can motivate change.Golden Gate Elementary will have a culture of kindness and each student will learn that "Kindness Begins with ME!  

Budget Narrative

One benefit of this grant is that the project can be continued at a lesser cost in the future since the purchase of the machine and tools will be an investment that can be used in future years.
