The #BeKind movement focuses on spreading kindness and making positive connections, not only in public schools but in our communities. 

Inspired by the efforts of Ralston Superintendent Mark Adler and his wife, Joni and emphasized by the Nebraska Commissioner of Education, schools are declaring Friday, Aug. 24 as #BeKind Day and for the first Feel the Love Friday, we’re joining them.
