In three years the Great Kindness Challenge has grown from three schools to more than five hundred schools all over the world. So far this year,  Magnolia School in the Pleasant Ridge School District is committing to participate in the challenge. More schools can register this week.

Both Dignity Health and Kids for Peace believe that humankindness fosters healthier, happier lives and a more peaceful society, and that even a single act of kindness can change the world for the better.
