The thing about inspiration is once it gets going it’s absolutely an amazing thing! Over a month ago, parents sat down and tried to figure out what the heck we would do to replace a most beloved in-person MLK event in pandemic times. What grew out of that meeting was something extremely special and proves a point, that kindness even in it’s littlest form matters. Last night 12 children out of 123 that participated, volunteered to speak about their month long acts of service within their home/neighborhoods (1 child spoke from Brazil where her family got stuck in the pandemic) via a Zoom celebration. These kids were amazeballs! Our teachers were amazeballs! Our administration were amazeballs! I about cried when the principle said “my soul feels full” and when another teacher declared “Kindness is our Jam!” ...just so moved to have witnessed a teeny tiny idea blossom into such inspiration. This project was OPTIONAL, the kids didn’t have to do it on top of all...
