Dear Ridge Families,
We’re excited to share that Ridge is participating in the 2026 Kindness Games, a nationwide initiative designed to help students recognize the power of kindness and the positive impact it can have on our school and community. From February 6 through April 24, schools across the country are working to notice and log as many acts of kindness as possible.
Throughout the day, students will be encouraged to look for kind actions, big and small, and celebrate the positive moments happening around them. They will learn more about the Kindness Games at school during the coming weeks.
Did you know it takes 5 positive acts of kindness to counteract 1 act of meanness or negativity? By recognizing and sharing acts of kindness, we can help drown out the negativity heard on social media, the news, at home, and even in our school hallways, and instead build a more positive and supportive culture together.
Families are welcome to be part of this effort too! If your child shares an act of kindness they experienced or something they did for someone else, you can help them log it using the link below.
Log acts of kindness HERE. The link to log acts of kindness is even easier with a link in Clever.
By working together to recognize and share kindness, we can help build an even stronger, more positive culture for our students and community. As an added bonus the top 3 schools with the most acts of kindness will win cash prizes! Thank you for supporting this meaningful initiative!
Best,
Mrs. Poremba
Ridge Elementary Principal
