Project Kindness

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

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Broderick's classroom raised $481

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. 

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 fidget toys, keychains, and toy cars are going to be put together to make goodie bags for students throughout the school who are struggling. These items are going to provide comfort and hope to students going through difficult times.

The stress toys, puzzle toys, and mini chalkboards are going to be added to our donation to our Comfort and Hope community program. This program gives hope to children who are in foster care with items they need. These items will be used for their Easter basket fillers.

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