February 28th

Today is the last school day of Kindness Month. We will leave you all with a quotation from an anonymous source:

“What you do every day matters more than what you do every once in a while.”

You’re all awesome, Quilchena. Keep being kind to one another.

 

Each (school) day this month our Quilchena community will be invited to focus on kind acts. They will be on the morning announcements and then posted outside the library. I will also post them here. We invite you to follow along at home.

You are all getting good at showing others kindness.
Today we will pay it forward: just like yesterday, today is a Random Acts of Kindness Day BUT today when someone does something kind for you, try to pass it on by doing that same thing for someone else. Let’s see if we can build chains of kind acts.

Kind acts are contagious. See if you can pass it along.

Today let someone go ahead of you in line. We will all get there eventually, and wouldn’t it be better if we were happy on the way?

Today let’s shine our kind lights a little further.

Give a compliment to three people you don’t usually hang out with.

Happy Kindness Month!

Today and over the weekend, share your smile with some strangers. At recess, smile at a student you don’t know. Over the weekend, smile at someone you pass on the street, or in line at the grocery store. I bet you’ll get one in return!

Today’s quotation about kindness is from Father Faber who was a poet and theologian:

“An act of kindness never dies, but extends the invisible undulations of its influence over the breadth of centuries.”

Kindness Month is about remembering to be kind to ourselves as well and to others.

Listen to your heart today. Make at least one decision today based on what your heart is telling you.

Have you picked up a Kindness Month bookmark from the library yet?
Don’t forget to come to the library and pick up a special bookmark for Kindness Month.

Colour the front and write a special message on the back. Hide it in a book on the library shelves as a present for a future reader.

Happy Kindness Month!

Today you might think about the people at school who help you in all sorts of ways. Write a note to an adult around the school and tell them why you are grateful for what they do.
