We participated in the Great Kindness Challenge for the 2nd year in a row and the kids did an amazing job this year. I encourage everyone to register for the 2017 challenge. Please visit their website to get more information.

Here are a few highlights from the week....
Students from my leadership advisory committee held a breakfast for our local heroes (police officers, firemen, EMTs, bus drivers, and crossing guards).
Thank you posters were made for all groups and we also thanked them at our kick-off assembly. Students gave each group a standing ovation!! In addition, to our thank you posters and breakfast, every student wrote a personal thank you letter to a local hero in our community.

We had a school wide fundraiser to raise money to help the Kids for Peace organization build a new school for children in Kenya. Students at Rogers raised almost $700!! We took milk jugs and decorated them to say "Great Kindness Challenge" and had one in each classroom.
Students also collected items to send to a soldier unit we adopted through a program called Project Frontlines. Students and families collected 12 large boxes of items to send to the troops!
