Elementary students kick off annual kindness challenge in Riverhead
Kindness matters.
Fourth graders at both Phillips Avenue and Roanoke Avenue elementary schools are using their platform to spread that simple message as they celebrate the 2021 Great Kindness Challenge this week.
“It’s not only important to remind kids but adults how important kindness is,” said Adelaide Boese, a Roanoke Avenue Elementary student. “Because then you share the good with everyone, reminding them to be the best they can they be and to be kind to other people.”
To prepare for the challenge, students worked with Riverhead CAP social worker Shannon Kutner to create “Kindness Matters” signs for each school and kindness ‘kits’ for every classroom. Virtual students were also able to participate by creating signs for their homes.
