Hello TES Families,

I hope this MLK weekend was restful to all.

Please find a page with a poem that both, celebrates Martin L. King and sets the stage for the Great Kindness Challenge of 2022 next week. There is also a link to TES’s Leader in Me site (in progress) with the page dedicated to the Great Kindness Challenge and resources for next week for educators and families.

The Great Kindness Challenge 2022

The video below from the Leader in Me program informs the viewer about the power of the thoughts and language we choose and their impact on shaping our brain and future attitudes and outcomes, with the power of our brains' plasticity.

Couple other wortwhile reads on the topic:
