Random Acts of Kindness Week

Published on Thursday, 27 January 2011

February 13-19 is known as Random Acts of Kindness Week. Scott County Extension and the Scott City Elementary School team up each year to promote this event. This week teaches the students the importance of being kind to others and gives them opportunities to do so.
The students begin the week with learning about what kindness is and how they can affect others with their acts. The students make a “kindness quilt” . On Tuesday, 15 February,we are asking each student to bring non-perishable foods or hygiene products (shampoo, etc..) to share with the Bread Basket. Wednesday the 16th is Pennies with a Purpose. We will collect pennies from all the students by classroom. The class that brings the most pennies will get to choose where the donated pennies will go. A local bank will count the pennies for us. Last time, we collected over $400.00 dollars!! That was donated to Sourks Vet. Clinic to help a local pet shelter for medical costs.
On Thursday, 16 February, we will hold a stuffed to donate unwanted, clean stuffed animals or toys. All the animals that are collected will be donated to the local emergency services and/or to the Child Advocacy Center to be given to children in need.
If you would like to contribute to any of these events, please give Carol Ann a call at the Scott County Extension Office at 872-2930.
