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.
