During the month of February, Dalhousie will celebrate Kindness Month.  Kindness is a value that should be emulated on a daily basis and a goal of having this focus during February is that it instills the value on a daily basis throughout the year.  It is also grounded and can be seen as a throughline in the Indigenous Seven Sacred Teachings of Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility and Truth.    Kindness can be found in both giving and receiving and permeates through a community in a positive way.    Specifically, Dalhousie will be engaging in various activities to highlight kindness:

 

·       Three Acts of Kindness Every Day:  Students and staff will be asked to do three acts of kindness every day.  This can be holding the door open for someone, recognizing someone for a specific act or saying thank you. 

·       Food Drive: As an act of kindness and caring, we will be hosting a food drive for the Calgary Food Bank.  We want to recognize that we care for other people in a way that they need it.

·       Valentine’s Day: This day has a tradition around showing love and care.  Dalhousie students will show this by making cards for others outside of learning community and giving them to seniors, front line workers, hospital patients and others.  Students will also be making cards for each other.   We ask that no cards, food, toys or other items be sent from home for this occasion.  Anything sent from home will be sent back.  We ask that instead you direct resources that you may have used for this to our Food Drive.

·       Pink Shirt Day will be celebrated on February 22.  Students are encouraged to wear pink to school as a symbol of kindness towards each other.
