Kindest regards from Marshdale Students create a paper chain of good deeds to wrap the school in kindness BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Marshdale Elementary students are learning that it feels as good to be kind as it does to receive kindness. That was the goal of school psychologist Amy Temple, who has put an emphasis on kindness and empathy at the school. The result was a paper kindness chain that wrapped around the entire school and a bingo game to provide students with simple ways they could spread kindness. “I feel like kindness is so critical for our children,” Temple explained. “We have an amazingly kind school,
and giving (kindness) more attention is really important right now (because of the pandemic).” Temple created a list of 50 kind acts and asked students to videotape themselves talking about what they did and how it made them feel. Then in their classrooms, they wrote the kind acts on paper links to create a classroom chain that eventually became a schoolwide chain of kindness. Each class brought its chain to the playground on Jan. 25, and principal Zak Martin took photos from the roof, noting that the entire exercise in kindness had been awesome.
