National Random Acts of Kindness Week is here!


Do you want to make a difference? When completing a random act of kindness, there is no guarantee of getting anything in return.  But actis of “altruism” are known to improve mental health!  You will get a buzz from doing something nice for someone else.


Here are a few ideas:

  1. Hold the door open for a peer.

  2. Let someone else go in front of you in line.

  3. Help a friend who needs help on their homework.

  4. Clean up a mess you didn’t make.

  5. Pick up trash or pencils you see on the hallway floors.

  6. Ask a teacher if you can help them with anything.

  7. Clean your room!

  8. Offer to tidy up a room at home.

  9. Write your teacher a note or a poem about why you like them or their class.

  10. Tell someone a joke to cheer them up if they’re feeding sad.
