K12 Kindness Month: Words Matter

Words have power. What we say to ourselves and others makes a difference—from our own self-image to what we send out into the world.

In recognition of Kindness Month and Bullying Prevention Month, we’re encouraging everyone to practice empathy, respect, and connection within our community and beyond, engaging in fun activities that cultivate kindness. From Story Studio to the K12 Zone, explore ways you can sprinkle more kindness into the world.

Kindness in Action

Looking for ways your student can celebrate kindness and build their emotional intelligence without adding another task to your list? Strider and the K12 team have prepared a special Kindness Toolkit full of activities and information. Students of all ages can complete these fun activities while getting friends, family, and neighbors involved. As they work their way through, they’ll learn to use their words to build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging.
