sandy hook elementary school: Random Act of Kindness #11: Stop the Car!
- 12/30/14 12:11 AM
I skipped from #9 to #11 because Random Act of Kindness #10 was a Christmas Story that I posted on my blogspot page, and it was a bit lenghty.

So for #10, go to: janiepughsellshomes.blogspot.com/2014/12/random-act-of-kindness-10-look-for-the-sign.html.

sandy hook elementary school: Random Act of Kindness Suggestion #5: Dinner to Go
- 12/18/14 10:18 PM
One of the best parts of these activities is the opportunity to get your family involved....especially the kids. Kids imitate what they see, so it is important they see adults being kind to one another. One night, the first year I started my list of 26, I sat down with my family so we could come up with some ideas.
