Are you ready for Kindness Day on April 13?!

Hello friends! It's Elena here!! Can you believe it is already April?? But since it's a new month kindness day is just around the corner!! Here are this month's kindness suggestions!!
  1. Volunteer - check your library or school, they are always in need of extra help 
  2. Make a "just because" card for a friend 
  3. Help a neighbor with their spring cleaning!!
  4. Fill a box of your old toys and send them to a shelter in need 
  5. Say "thank you for all you do" to 10 different people 
  6. Stop and listen to a friend who wants to be heard 
  7. Ask any teacher in your school if they need extra help 
  8. If you see someone has made a mess, just clean it up
  9. Get together a group of friends and make cards for your local police or fire department 
  10. Try and make 10 people smile who seem like they are having a rough day!! 

Sharing my campaign for kindness with members of my local East Hartford Police Department and Fire Department at the 2016 Hartford St. Patrick's Day Parade!

I hope you like my suggestions!! Please email me at CKGElena@kidgovernor.org and tell me all about which of these you did this month, or what other acts of kindness you're doing!! Talk to you soon - bye!!
