Run a Look for the Good® Program in Your Elementary School!

Our Look for the Good® Program is a two-week, school-wide gratitude campaign which can now be expanded into a year-long community-care initiative. We have organized the program into two steps, allowing schools to decide when their community is mentally and emotionally ready to advance to the second step. 

Registration starts in October. The fee is $500 per school.

Step 1

Reset Your School Climate With a Two-Week, Student-Led Gratitude Campaign

Schools use our online training platform to run a two-week, student-led Gratitude Campaign. We provide a 15 minute video to share during a school-wide assembly, daily scripts for student leaders to read over the morning announcements, as well as directions on how to encourage the students and staff to participate.

This Part of the Program is Based on the Broaden & Build Theory in Psychology

The Broaden and Build theory was first proposed by researcher Dr. Barbara Fredrickson as a way to address the lack of research on positive emotions like love and gratitude. Rather than arguing that positive emotions should replace negative ones, Dr. Fredrickson explains that both positive and negative emotions are necessary to build resilience. She states that positive emotions, like gratitude, can build internal resources to cope with challenges, making people more resilient and flexible. In trauma therapy, this focus on building up positive feelings before diving into challenging topics is called "resourcing."

Step 2

Staff Are Invited to Use Our Wiggle Warrior® Program as a Classroom Management Tool 

Did you know that negative emotions tend to shrink when you reset your nervous system? Wiggle Warrior® Classroom helps teachers and kids to reset their nervous systems through breathing and movement. All staff are given free access to the online learning platform for the school year so that they can choose when and where they want to use it.

The Look for the Good® Program was Created by Author-Artist, Anne Kubitsky

Before Anne established Look for the Good Project as a 501C3 organization, she was running this effort as a public art project. From 2011 - 2014, Anne collected thousands of messages from the community and used these messages to create interactive art installations in public parks, hospitals, hotels, resorts, retreat centers, and colleges. She has received numerous awards for her innovative efforts to create social change - including the "Points of Light Award," a community service award originating out of The White House. This video was created by students from Rock Hill School in 2013. Since then, she has written (and donated) over 25 books for the organization.
