Helping Hands

What is Helping Hands?

Helping Hands is a group committed to making a positive difference in our school community through acts of service, spreading kindness, and lending a ‘helping hand’ wherever it is needed. 

What we have done in the past:

• Writing positive notes to teachers and staff members to help spread positivity around the school

• Kindness Week and Start With Hello campaign to encourage kindness and empathy

• Awareness and fundraising campaigns for various diseases and particular needs in the community

• Helping Hands for the Holidays to help local families buy presents for their children 

• Positive signs and posters around the school

• Writing cards to residents of local nursing homes

• Daily announcements in school with fun or motivational messages

• Other ideas that students come up with!

Some basic information:

• Students in any grade (5th, 6th, or 7th) can join. 

• We meet every other Tuesday in the library after school until 3:45. 

• Pickup is on the auditorium side of the school in the usual parent pickup/dropoff area. 

• Students can take the 4:00 late bus home after meetings.

• Students can access group info on our Google Classroom, and I will communicate with parents/guardians through email and Remind.
