Acts of Kindness Chain Reaction
The objective of the Acts of Kindness Chain Reaction Program is for students to examine what it means to be kind through showing kindness to others. The students record their own acts of kindness on strips of paper and then link them together to form a chain. They can hang the chain around their classroom or other permitted locations at school. Harding St. ES held a school wide “Choose to be Kind” Program. Every classroom created a Kindness Chain and read books that encouraged the students to reflect on Tolerance and treating others with Human Dignity and Respect.
If you are interested in participating in the Kindness Program, please contact us for more information or get started today with this Acts of Kindness Chain Lesson Plan. |

Teach the Children Peace Foundation awarded partial scholarships to 4 Los Angeles Middle School students to participate in the 2012 Model United Nations Program. In 2013, one full scholarship was awarded. The California YMCA Youth and Government Model United Nations program is a simulation of the “real-life” United Nations Assembly. Middle School students that participate are called Ambassadors. They are given the opportunity to research, debate and establish policies, treaties,and resolutions focusing on international issues, including disputes between countries, peace-keeping responsibilities, border crises and dealing with hunger, disease and poverty. “I have learned to be more confident and speak up more. Before the program, I couldn’t speak up because I was shy. The program made me a better person and I learned about what is happening in the world.” C. Delgado age 13 – TCPF Scholarship recipient to the Model UN Program. For further information visit the Model U.N. website. |
