We are pleased to announce that the Hoboken Public School District has been designated as a Kindness Certified District.
The Great Kindness Challenge is an action-based program with kindness concepts internalized through hands-on experiences.It supports students in creating a culture of kindness and compassion while strengthening their social and emotional well being. 
During the Great Kindness Challenge Week, each school distributed the Great Kindness Challenge checklist --Classroom Edition kindness checklist to the students and kicked off  creating a culture of kindness in the district.
The kind acts on the kindness checklist focus on key kindness concepts: 
caring (incl. self-care) respect gratitude inclusiveness
As one of many activites during  the Great Kindness Challenge Week, many of our schools partnered with local coffee shops, decorated stickers with kind messages that the shops place on their cups all week. A special thanks to The Hive, Empire Coffee, and Dolce and Salato for their generosity in partnering with the district. #GreatKindnessChallenge #HereWeComeHoboken
