Random Acts of Kindness

at the West After School Center

 

The WASC students are learning about paying forward by performing Random Acts of Kindness for others. The students at the center are encouraged to share their good deeds with Mrs. Bibler, who then puts their names in her RAC basket. On Fridays, we will share the student’s stories and recognize them for their thoughtfulness. Volunteers, staff, students and our partners are encouraged to participate.       

 

 

A Random Act of Kindness is one that is performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up a stranger. There will generally be no other reason than to make people smile, or to be happier. This gesture maybe either spontaneous or something planned in advance.
 
Fired Up and Fit!
