Community Service Through Acts of Kindness

My Project

My students are excited to help the dynamics of our school environment. They want to write inspirational poems for everyone in our school community and give them a small token .

Giving small tokens such as ornaments or rings together with the poems will be their random acts of kindness.

We need these items desperately.

When students get involved in community service, they not only help others — they expand their worldview, develop empathy and leadership skills, and realize how their actions can have a positive impact. Please help us learn this lesson through action.
