Acts of Kindness

September 25, 2010 — Postives

Acts_KindnessI want to encourage students and teachers to post “Acts of Kindness” they notice to the comment section below. I plan to print and post your comments on our “Acts of Kindness Tree” outside of the Multipurpose Room (see picture on left.)

Here is an act of kindness I noticed at carpool on Friday afternoon.

A 4th grader realized that another boy left his sneakers on the wall after school. The 4th grader put the sneakers in his backpack and told Mr. Duska he planned to give them to him at the Mini Golf event later that night.

RULES for posting

NAME: Type your grade and teacher or advisor name.

You MUST not use the names of students when you describe the act of kindness. You CAN write what grade, and what class a student is from, but NO NAMES.
