Dear Sir or Madame,
We are the students of the Leadership class from Unity Composite High School. Last year, together with our Positive School Climate Committee, we created a project to promote kindness and inclusion for all of the students and staff in our school. Due to the success of this project, we have decided to turn this idea into a province wide school contest. It is our hope that all students from across the province will get on board and create a positive project and enter it into our contest.
Last year our Positive School Climate Committee created an Activate Campaign, where each class was responsible for creating and implementing an idea to bring about inclusion and to help stop bullying. Some of our classes created a video, some shared baking, some left positive messages for others and one class passed around a card with positive messages on it. To check out our work visit our twitter page @ActivateUCHS.
This year we want to take it to a new level. We believe that this message of inclusion and belonging starts with us students. In order to help spread this message, we invite and encourage all students to enter our contest. Our contest is simple:
· The project should show kindness and inclusion
· Create and submit your idea: It can be a poster, a video, a skit, a book mark, a shirt design or logo
· This entry enters you for a chance to win the acknowledgement of your success and a possible monetary donation.
·
The ideas are endless and so are the possibilities. One small act of kindness can make a big impact!
If you have any questions or need further information please contact Becky Krentz at

Yours truly,
UCHS Leadership Class Activate Coordinator
