Ms. Tayler’s Class Show ‘Its Cool to be Kind’
Friday, October 22nd, 2021—We all know it is 'Cool to be Kind,' ... but did you know that the kindness and generosity performed by Ms. Tayler's 1st grade class at Utica Academy of Science elementary school was recognized by Central New York’s #1 hit music station Kiss FM and WKTV?
On Friday, October 22nd, the Atoms received a special visit from Kiss FM who presented the students with goodies and a class pizza party as part of their 'It's Cool to be Kind' campaign. To enter, students had to demonstrate or perform the following acts of kindness:
- Give a classmate a compliment
- Tell someone they did a good job
- Pick up trash in your classroom without being asked
- Discuss why kindness is important as a group
- Let someone go ahead of you in line
- Ask someone new to sit with you at lunch
- Hold the door open for someone behind you
- As a class discuss what harm bullying can do
Once these acts of kindness have been completed, a class photo with the completed pizza pie is taken and submitted for a chance to win a pizza party! Each winning class received a pizza party hosted by the personalities from WKTV and Kiss FM, sweet treats from Ramon's Bakery, school supplies for each student, goodies from Fly Creek Cider Mill, and the teacher will receive a brand new InstantPot.
We are excited to share that Ms. Tayler's 1st grade class is one of the four classes that are currently in the running for the grand prize of $250 from GPO Federal Credit Union!
