February 9-13, 2026, is Virginia Kindness Week. The purpose of Kindness Week is to recognize and encourage simple day-to-day acts of kindness that enable our schools and communities to be kind. This initiative will help create a safer, healthier, and more inclusive place to live, work, learn, and play. The theme for the week is “Belonging Starts with Kindness.”
