Kindness Kids Speak Out

How can kindness spread through a school?

"One way for kindness to spread is to play with everyone. It's not nice to leave others out."~Clarissa

"People have to apologize to people when they do something wrong. When I am kind I feel good. Every one should be kind."~Andrew

" My heart hurts when I am mean to people at school. I should always be kind, then others will be kind, too."~Aniyah

"Sharing with others is a way to show kindness."~Tanner

"Being kind rocks! Everybody's doing it at our school. Next time your friend falls help them up, or you could help someone that is not your friend. Just be kind." ~Caitlyn

"I think if bullies at school would think of how their actions hurt the other person, they wouldn't do it." ~Remington
