🌟 Weekly Act of Kindness Challenge 🌟

This week, join our Kindness Challenge! As we enter the gift-giving season, let's remember the most meaningful gestures cost nothing but mean everything. We challenge all students and staff to offer three key "unwrapped gifts" daily: The Gift of Time (sit with someone alone or check in with a coworker), The Gift of Encouragement (leave a positive note or offer a genuine compliment), and The Gift of Kindness (hold a door or help someone carry materials). Your challenge this week is to choose one person—student or staff—who needs a lift. Let's make generosity the kind we create, not the kind we buy.

Weekly Act of Kindness !

This week, we’re focusing on remembering that we are all on the same team. Everyone goes through ups and downs, and a simple act of kindness can make a big difference.

Take a moment to check in with someone. Whether it’s a close friend, a classmate, or even someone you don’t know as well. A kind word, a quick conversation, or offering a helping hand can truly lift someone up.

Let’s support one another and keep building a community where everyone feels seen, valued, and cared for.

Today we celebrate an incredible member of our Swain family, Mrs. Kathy Cook, as she enjoys her last day at Swain Middle School and begins a well-deserved retirement!

For years, Mrs. Kathy has been a steady, caring, and irreplaceable presence in our building and throughout Swain County Schools. Her warm smile, her willingness to help anyone who walked through the door, and her genuine love for our students and staff have shaped the culture of our school in ways that will be felt for many years to come.

Her kindness, and commitment to serving others have made a lasting impact on generations of students and countless colleagues. She has been a source of joy and comfort, and has served as an anchor in our school community. She is a true example of what it means to lead with heart.

Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Kathy today! Leave a comment, share a memory, or simply wish her the peaceful, joyful retirement she deserves!

Thank you, Mrs. Kathy, for everything. You will always be a part of Swain Middle School!

Act of Kindness of the Week ✨

“To get respect, you have to give respect.”

This week, let’s focus on a simple but powerful idea: treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect isn’t something you demand — it’s something you show through your actions and words.

Listen before you speak 🗣️, be patient even when it’s hard ⏳, and choose kindness every day . When we give respect, we create a school where everyone feels valued 🌟.

Challenge yourself this week to model the respect you hope to receive. A kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or treating someone with dignity can change someone’s entire day.

Let’s keep making Swain Middle a place where kindness and respect lead the way!

🌟 Kindness Starts With You! 🌟

We can’t always control what happens around us — the weather, other people’s actions, or last-minute changes — but we can control how we respond. Our words, actions, and attitude have the power to make a difference.

This week, focus on what YOU can control:
✅ Take a deep breath & stay calm
✅ Use encouraging words
✅ Be patient & understanding
✅ Walk away from negativity
✅ Focus on solutions, not complaints

Small choices add up to something big — a kinder, more positive school and community.

✨ Control what you can. Be kind where you are. Kindness starts with you! ✨
