Random Acts of Kindness for the Alternative School

0

Altrusa Finance and Communications committees performed a random act of kindness by making a hot homemade lunch to share with the Alternative School students, in honor of the Alternative School administrators, juvenile diversion and probation officers on Feb. 17.

Altrusa members, as well as Washington and Miami Trace educators, recognize and appreciate the wonderful work of our dedicated juvenile diversion, probation, and Alternative School professionals. They work really hard to do the very best by our students.

The Random Acts of Kindness movement evolved to counteract the many random acts of violence which unfortunately are so prevalent today. This has become a nationwide movement which inspired the creation of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, established in 1995.

Although Altrusa International of Washington Court House is not affiliated with this foundation, we believe practicing acts of kindness in our daily lives will benefit our world, our communities, our schools, our places of business and our families. In truth, it is often asked; who benefits most from an act of kindness, the giver or the recipient?

“Kindness is contagious; it has a way of spreading, even around the globe.”
