I gave a presentation at Shiloh Hills Elementary School on Valentine’s Day. It was a day filled with kindness. I am so grateful to have received such great help from students, a beautifully decorated doorway, and so many awesome videos of students saying what kindness means to them. Plus Mrs. Schiavo’s class sang Kindness is a Muscle in a video. They are right! Kindness is a muscle that we need to use every day to make it stronger!

I challenged the students to complete 3 kind acts in one day. I am excited that so many students took on the challenge and shared their kind acts with me! Check them out below and smile just like I did because the kindness of children is a beautiful thing.

Look who has joined the Cool to Be Kind Movement!! He stood up to a (much taller) 5th grader who was being mean to another boy and told him that “It’s cool to be kind.” Gram H. is Cool to Be Kind!! So proud of you Gram!!

Last week I attended a meeting of the It’s Cool to Be Kind Club at Glenside Elementary School. The club was started by Tanner Feinour. I met three of the four members Kashmere, Elias and Isaiah. I hope to meet Emilio the next time I go. They proudly showed posters they made about kindness and shared their many kind acts. Kashmere even gave a Cool to Be Kind Movement sticker to a girl she had seen being kind earlier that day! So proud of you Kind Kids!! And thank you, Tanner and Glenside Elementary for helping me spread the message of kindness.

Here are their kind acts:

I helped someone pick up their folder. And I hold the door for people.  Isaiah

I helped my teacher sharpen pencils and other jobs like math checkers and helping with library books.  Elias
