Kindness Month at Alamogordo Public Schools!

At Alamogordo Public Schools, we believe that kindness has the power to transform our schools and our community. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate Kindness Month throughout February! This month-long initiative encourages students, staff, families, and our entire community to spread kindness in meaningful ways.

Each week, we’ll focus on a different kindness theme, with daily challenges to inspire acts of generosity, compassion, and positivity. We invite everyone to join us—at school, at home, and in the community—as we work together to make kindness a way of life.

Mark your calendars for Chalk Your Walk Day on February 14th. On this day, we’ll fill our sidewalks, driveways, and community spaces with encouraging messages to spread joy and inspiration!
