RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY

January 8 is designated in our school calendar as “Random Acts of Kindness Day.”

 

It could be as simple as giving a smile and saying Good Morning to a stranger;  or washing the dishes after breakfast; or paying for somebody’s jeepney fare;  or picking up a piece of trash from the school grounds. You can be as simple or as creative as you want.  A “random act of kindness” need not cost you any money. Just a little bit of love…perhaps a little bit of your time.

 

If only 50% of students and employees of St Jo did a random act of kindness on January 8, 2019…that would be 1000 acts of kindness done that day.   It would be a happier, kinder, brighter day for our planet.  I would like to ask everyone in St. Jo to do one random act of kindness on January 8 this year.  Do you think we can get our acts together and perform one random act of kindness on that day?  Yes?

 

How can we do it?  How can we monitor it?  Here’s my suggestion:

  1. Explain the program to all your teachers before Christmas vacation.
  2. Each homeroom teacher, explain the program to her/his class.
  3. On January 7, when we come back to school, explain the program again to your class.
  4. On January 8, give another reminder during homeroom period.
  5. Mechanics: after you have done your random act of kindness, make a “peace crane” and drop it in the designated box in the civic center.  At the end of the day we will know how many people made random acts of kindness by counting how many “peace cranes” are in the box.  Simple?  (You can also prepare your “peace crane” prior to doing your “rak.”  If you do not know how to fold a “peace crane” you may substitute it with any origami or paper folding figure that you can make…and drop this in the designated box.)

 

Let us show that we can put our acts together to make this world a little kinder, a little more loving, a little brighter.  Let us have more than 1000 peace cranes, 1000 acts of kindness on January 8, 2019.
