This week, Colonial Heights Public Schools joins schools across the Commonwealth in celebrating Virginia Kindness Week.
Kindness is more than a moment — it’s a mindset. Simple, everyday acts of kindness help create schools that are safer, more inclusive, and more connected. Whether it’s offering encouragement, lending a helping hand, or simply listening, small actions can make a lasting impact.
Throughout the week, we encourage our students, staff, and families to reflect on how they can show kindness and why kindness matters. Together, we can continue building a school community where everyone feels valued and supported.
💙 Let’s continue spreading kindness across CHPS this week.
