Bountiful Elementary has announced that the focus for October 2026 is Kindness Matters. This initiative encourages students to go beyond politeness by noticing others, including those who may feel left out, offering encouragement, and showing respect through words and actions.
The school stated that small acts of kindness can brighten days and strengthen the school community to ensure every child feels a sense of belonging. Families are invited to continue conversations at home by recognizing kindness and discussing ways children can positively impact others through actions such as helping classmates or thanking teachers.
As part of the Make It Matter initiative, the school is asking the community to provide anonymous feedback regarding the monthly focus. The question for this month asks what one kindness habit families would love for every Bobcat to practice.
The school noted that the feedback form is intended to identify common themes and improve community experiences rather than to report individual concerns. For situations requiring follow-up or specific details, individuals are directed to contact Principal Pickett or the school office directly.
