#BeKind Initiative Expands To Liberty Elementary School

The grassroots effort encourages students and teachers to create a culture of kindness at their schools.

CANTON, GA -- Liberty Elementary School is the latest school in the Cherokee County school District to launch the #BeKind initiative!

Liberty joins Hickory Flat and Sixes elementary schools, Clark Creek Elementary School STEM Academy and E.T. Booth Middle School in the grassroots effort inspiring students and teachers to create a culture of kindness at their schools.

Hickory Flat's PTA was selected as a National PTA School of Excellence last year after launching the #BeKind initiative in their school and community.
