As part of our district’s efforts to connect all students with social-emotional support, we are excited to announce that PSJA ISD is participating in the 2022-2023 Great Kindness Challenge where we will join thousands of schools across the country to create a culture of kindness! Your school will be part of a powerful and positive bullying prevention initiative that will lead to more kindness, unity, and respect at school and beyond.  

This week, all across PSJA ISD, the United States of America, and the world students will be taking the Great Kindness Challenge. The Great Kindness Challenge started 12 years ago with just 3 schools in California and now there are over 17 million students in 33,000 schools and 115 countries participating in The Great Kindness Challenge, and we are part of this kindness revolution! 

As a Kindness Certified School District, we thank you for joining us once again in this endeavor. 

How you can join: 

1) Sign up your campus to participate in the 2023 Kindness Challenge happening Jan. 23-27.  

Every school that participates in The Great Kindness Challenge is automatically recognized as a Kindness Certified School. After the challenge ends, you will receive an electronic Kindness Certified School seal to use on your school website, newsletter or eblast and you can even print a copy to frame for the front office!
