Why it matters
The words students hear can shape how they see themselves.
And the words they choose can shape the people around them.
Kind Lips in the Classroom gives students a simple, repeated reminder to use their words to build themselves and others up.
The idea is simple
A small habit can carry a meaningful message.
Lip balm is something students already know how to use. We turn that familiar action into a cue to remember something bigger.
