Seeds of Kindness
Everyone benefits from random acts of kindness! However, students may not even notice a random act of kindness, because often these acts are overlooked. This project encourages students to think about times when someone has been nice to them. Students then take those memories and create potted plants to be donated to the community. Students will gain a sense of accomplishment and new friendships within the community.
