Union School District students featured in the Los Gatan February 1, 2023 Edition

On Jan. 23, Belmont Village Los Gatos hosted select students at the Union School District to take part in “The Great Kindness Challenge” where together, students and residents participated in art projects, games, singing, storytelling and interactions focusing on being kind and what it means to be kind.

“The Great Kindness Challenge” is presented by Kids for Peace, co-founded in 2006 by Danielle Gram, a high school honors student, and Jill McManigal, a mother and former elementary school teacher.

What started organically as a neighborhood group of kids wanting to make the world a better place has grown into an interconnected network of young peacebuilders worldwide.
