We Can Change!
Change is hard. However, change is necessary. Let’s sit down with our children or our students and explain the changes -- changes in how we treat each other and how we talk. And then follow through. Do it! Be intentional.
​
#BeKindBport encourages teachers and parents to focus on everyday courteousness, acceptance of fellow students, consideration of another person’s feelings, and actions that show respect for those in authority. It starts with us.
HOW? Start simple by chatting with the young people in your life and set some new expectations, and then use our printable charts, or some stickers, a pat on the back, or a fist bump to celebrate growth.
Join us in our efforts to help our community.
