What do you think would happen if there was a spirit of kindness in every school in the world? There would be no more stories of school shootings, of bullying, of people who are mistreated. Everyone would feel safe and welcome when they walk through the school doors.
The school can be a place where daily acts of kindness are a normal part of the day. The attitudes of people in a school can be changed. It can start by making a simple classroom rule such as "If it's not nice, don't say it. If it's not kind, don't do it." When a few people start talking about kindness and being thoughtful, respectful, and considerate it can make other students stop and think. The message of kindness can spread.
Kindness in the school means pride within the school. Pride and respect are connected. Both keep people from doing bad things. When people are kind they are showing respect for themselves and for others. In school it is important to treat others with kindness and respect. This can change the attitude of the entire school because when one person is nice to another kindness seems to spread.
School is a place where many different cultures, religions, and personalities are thrown together, but kindness can bring people together. When students learn about and practice kindness every day, the idea of kindness becomes more than just a thought, it becomes an action. Once it becomes an action it becomes a part of the person and it will be easier and easier to be kind.
Stir up some kindness in your school.

That was a good mesage. I think kindness can spread when you tell other people and it can make a huge change to their lives. Thats all I have to say bye.
When someone is lonely and wants friend in school or something it's you they'll pick.
being kind rocks!everybodys doing it next time your friend falls help them up.Or you could help someone that is not your friend .just try being friends even if you don't like them.just be kind.
I think kindness in school is important because you will have friends and you'll get to do more stuff.
I think kindness is really good for yourself. I also think it is important to be kind too the people
at school.You need too be kind to everybody,but you really need to be kind at school because you are going to need friends through out your life.If you don't have friends your life it is a lot harder.Also if you are kind it might encourage other people to be kind.
This is a wonderful sight. I think the insights of the kids are great about how to be kind. We should have more sights like this to encourage kindness in our community.

I think that when people show random kindness it helps because it makes other people see that when you pick on other people your hurting yourself .This person you pick on could be a great friend.
