A full-year classroom kit with daily slides, Care Notes, and reflection tools

A digital Care Hard School badge for your website
A shot at the top leaderboard spot and a $200 bonus charitable gift card for your school’s chosen cause
Why Schools Love It
The Care Hard Challenge integrates seamlessly into what you already do. It’s not a new curriculum, not a binder, not a competing SEL program.
It is:
Kid-driven (students lead the energy)
5-minute daily actions proven to build positive habits
Flexible and fun - it complements your current systems, rather than adding to them
A culture-builder that works without sacrificing instructional time
National data shows 1 in 3 students report elevated stress, conflict, or loneliness after winter break, even in supportive school environments.
