Good Morning Everyone:

I love stories of Acts of Kindness especially from children and

their acts. Here are a few that I have collected from teacher friends 

over the years and that I though you may enjoy. Most are from

4th graders through 6th graders. Enjoy.

          RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS 

A little girl was late getting home from school and her mother 

began to scold her, but then stopped asked, "Why are you so late?" 

" I had to help one my friends. She was in trouble," explained the 

daughter.

"What did you do?"

"Oh, I sat down and helped her cry!"

~~Julie 5th Grade

One day my family and I were going to a baseball game and it was 

pretty cold outside. In the city there are a lot of homeless people. 

We saw this one guy with some dogs and you could see their ribs. 

There were no bottles around him so we assumed he didn't spend

the money he gets on beer and stuff.

He was selling bracelets for 25 cents. We bought a few and gave 

him $50. I wish nobody lived on the streets.

My Sunday School class joined an " anonymous Santa" program 

and adopted a mother and her four children. At first we each brought

in a few cans of food (the usual donation). But as Christmas grew 

nearer, our class began to realize just how needy and important our

presents would be. 

Then the presents really started coming in. When I woke up Christmas

morning, I thought of our needy family opening their presents and how

 surprised they would be and that was my best Christmas present ever.

~~Lily, 5th grade

Last year I was involved in a toy drive for children. My mom got 

me to do it and I was not very excited. Thew only reason I was

 doing it was for extra credit in school.

I spent day after day sorting toys and looking for the clock to say

 it was time to go home. I went to basketball practice the night of 

wrapping and I got to the school just a little bit late. I was very 

stunned to see over a hundred and fifty people there wrapping 

gifts. I started to feel good about what I had done.

All the help and good will that was shown that night really touched

my heart. I hope that I will have the chance to do that again. The 

biggest surprised is that I didn't care about the extra credit any 

more. To this day I haven't turned in the extra credit sheet. 

~~Kyle, 6th grade

One day I had to wear a patch on my eye to school. I was afraid 

everybody would laugh at me or I would fall down the steps at 

lunchroom and hurt myself. My mom was really worried.

A good friend named Ethan said that he would help me, he walked

 in front of me going down the steps and in back of me going up 

the steps so if I fell, I would fall on him. The best part is I got to

sit by my best friend every day!

My random act of kindness is small but pretty good. Everyday say 

at least one kind thing to everyone you talk to. This isn't hard to 

do and it makes you and the people that you talk to feel good.

~~Brad, 5th Grade.

A friend in my school wore a very beautiful necklace every day. 

Of course, glitter on plastic was beautiful to a kindergartner. 

But her necklace was different. It had brilliant colors of Indian 

made beads and gold and silver balls in between.

One day she was playing tag and a boy yanked it off her neck. 

Beads went flying everywhere as the little girl burst into tears.

I didn't know her very well, so I stayed on the monkey bars. I 

could see that the boy felt awful as he tried to help her find 

the scattered beads. It was hopeless.

The next day, she had no necklace so I took off my glitter on

 plastic necklace and gave it to her. I knew it wasn't as pretty, 

but my heart ached to see such a bare neck.

She wore my glitter and plastic necklace with pride for the

 rest of the year.

~~Jacqui, 7th grade.

**********

One day I went to the hospital for my yearly shots. When I saw 

a guy that was really old and looking like he is about to die. He 

had cancer. I notice no one was visiting him. So I went to give 

him some company. He seemed to have a smile on his face when 

I was talking to him.

~~Steve, 5th grade

**********

I was going down the stairs after 1st period. Everyone was 

walking all over a fifth grader on the ground.

I decided to help him pick up his books and when I was finished, 

I told him I'm sorry everyone was stepping on him.

I walked away feeling good bout myself but I knew he was crying. 

I know hos he felt. I was also a fifth grader once. I'm not telling 

you this so you think I'm a nice person. I'm telling you this because 

what I did made me feel good about myself. 

I hope you take that into consideration. I want other people to 

know that by helping one person it makes you feel like you helped

 the whole world.

~~Erin 7th Grade

On mother's day you should give your mother something nice and

 if you don't do that at least tell her Happy Mother's Day and if 

you don't do neither of those things, I don't know what to tell you!

~~Maurice, 5th grade
