Project Kindness

Help me give my students items to help spread kindness throughout the year at the school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hissom's classroom raised $495

My Project

Our students have formed a group of kids who want to help other kids by spreading kindness. The Kindness Club has sent out paper flowers to the staff showing their appreciation to them. They send out notes to other students to cheer them up and let them know someone is thinking about them.

Kindness is choosing to do something that helps others or yourself, motivated by genuine warm feelings. 

How can we spread one act of kindness each day? The students enjoy creating fun crafts and sending positive notes to their friends about kindness. Our students spread kindness at school, at home, and in the community. Spreading kindness is important throughout the year. The items I am requesting will allow the Kindness club to spread kindness throughout the year, at each holiday.

The play-doh, bookmarks, and writing tablets are going to be put together to make goodie bags for students throughout the school that are struggling. These items are going to provide comfort and hope to students going through difficult times.

I have requested emotional keychains, motivational bracelets, and pencils for the Kindness Club students to pass out during testing time, which is always a time students need reminded just how amazing they are.

Thank you for being an example of spreading acts of kindness. Your kindness is appreciated!
