The challenge, sponsored by Rockville’s Community Services Division, asked elementary schools to complete kind acts, such as doing a household chore without being asked, thanking a bus driver or teacher and saying something nice to five people.

Overall, 159 Beall students took part. Teacher Carolina DeVriendt’s third-grade class won an ice cream party from the city by having 23 students participate — the most of any class in the school.

On Oct. 2, Rockville’s Mayor and Council proclaimed October Bullying Prevention Month, joining a national campaign to address bullying behavior.
