We have been talking a lot about kindness in the lower school - ways to show kindness, to speak kindness, and ideas of how to spread kindness. Students have been an active part of celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week so read below to find out more about what we've done!
Pre K and first grade students shared encouraging statements about their peers. With an activity using a ball of yarn, students were able to see how one act of kindness can spark another act of kindness, which can eventually grow into several acts to make the world a kinder place. Kindergarten students created a surprise video message for their fifth grade buddies who are involved in off-campus learning at Space Camp. To view the video (and bring an instant smile to your face), click on the following link: http://www.schooltube.com/video/c3d389acf009462b9e6e/Kindergarten%20Buddies%20Send%20Message%20to%205th%20Grade.
Second and third grade students created drawings and made cards for patients at the Montgomery Cancer Center and the elderly at John Knox Manor. The cards contained Bible Verses, prayers, and a chocolate Hershey's "Hugs" or "Kiss" so patients know that Trinity students are sending a little something "sweet" their way. Below is a picture of a few third graders with their cards:
Fourth grade students wrote letters to fifth grade Space Campers with messages of encouragement for a safe and fun-filled trip. The fifth graders have been busy reminding elementary students about Random Acts of Kindness week through the daily Morning Message.

Hope this has brightened your day and sparked your creativity of how you and your children can show kindness to others.
