It's time for August Kindness Day!

Hi friends, it's Elena again here with another blog post!!

I once again have ten kindness suggestions for this month's Kindness Day on August 13th!

1. Do a chore for your family without them knowing!
2. Let someone go ahead of you in line! 
3. Donate food to you local food pantry!
4. Read a book to your younger siblings!  
5. Make someone else's bed!
6. Say "thank you" to service worker! 
7. Volunteer at a soup kitchen! 
8. Bring some play dough to a preschool class! 
9. Make a thank you card for your librarian! 
10. Visit your local retirement home and visit a resident!

So these are the kindness suggestions for the month!! What will you do?? Let me know what you're doing this month by emailing me at CKGElena@kidgovernor.org.

Also, new this month! You can write down your act of kindness for Kindness Day on a paper hand - or your own hand! - and share it through social media using #HandsofKindness. This will share my campaign for kindness with lots of people!
