From Jan. 26 to Jan. 30, 2015, students nationwide will be challenged to <br />complete a checklist of 50 kind deeds and to make kindness a habit. Look for our own Dignity Health <br />kindness checklists and special activities during the same week as the schools. Last year, outreach from <br />employees led to participation by 52 schools in Dignity Health service areas. This year, we're looking to <br />double or triple that number. The Great Kindness Challenge is free to the schools, and Kids for Peace will <br />handle all the follow-up. All you need to do is send a note to the school principal or counselor asking <br />them to register their school for the Challenge. The Web site is www.greatkindnesschallenge.org. <br />Weigh in for the Biggest Loser <br />Sign up for the Biggest Loser contest in Employee Health January 5-9.
