On February 2nd, the Wayne Township Public Schools launched thoughtexchange, a web-based software package to seek feedback and thoughts about matters of importance. At this point, over 1,000 community members shared their thoughts about the Wayne Township Public Schools. All members of the community are welcome to participate and you can do so by using the invitation link (http://wayneschools.thoughtexchange.com/invitation/). The window for participation will be closing on February 16th, so there is one day left until the window is closed. We encourage all residents to participate.
After participating in the Great Kindness Challenge, Anthony Wayne Middle School has been named a Kindness Certified School! Aligned with the 180 Days of AWesome's year long theme, "Choose Kind," many students and teachers participated in spreading kindness both in and out of school.
Anthony Wayne teachers made notes of encouragements that were added to the Kindness Tree in the school's entry foyer. They also created positive/kind notes for their peers and family members. Some teachers also expressed their gratitude toward the administration and support staff by delivering flowers as a way of saying thank you.
All parents were given the Family Checklist via an email blast and were encouraged to take part in the Kindness Challenge outside of school. All students were given a copy of the checklist and in many classes, they checked off as many acts of kindness as possible throughout the week.
