Kindness Kit Pop-UP

Mitchell Memorial

We believe that true leadership starts with taking care of those around us, and that’s exactly what our H.A.R.D. #1 Leadership Academy Students are doing. Our students assembled "Kindness Kits" to support our community members in need. Beyond providing hygiene essentials like soap, socks, and oral care, each kit features a handwritten note of encouragement from our young leaders. We aren’t just building leaders; we’re building a culture of compassion in our community!
