The Kindness Challenge

It's The Great Kindness Challenge week.  Maybe you remember this from last year.  This is one school week that is dedicated to performing as many random acts of kindness as possible.  This is a campaign by KidsforpeaceGlobal.org .  Hundreds of school across the country are participating in the challenge, including Bella's school.

If you haven't made a New Year's Resolution, maybe this is it?  Random Acts of Kindness!   This would also be a great challenge for your girl scout troop!  I'm sure there is a fun patch that the girls can earn.

Here is a list of kind deeds that you can perform.

The Challenges:
