Wk 9-SO MANY Acts of Kindness-362! :)

This wk was HUGE for Acts of Kindness! We sent a sympathy card to a dear friend that unexpectedly lost her mother.  We also had a study/play date with one of our friends.  They brought Mr. Holloway a special meal when they came & we gave them some clothes/shoes.  We also passed along some clothes & "baby" toys to one of our friends.
I had a flat tire on Monday. :P  Mrs. K. watched my class for me until I was able to get to school.  The man that changed my tire was very trustworthy-I thought I would need two tires & he came in & told me I only had to replace the one that was flat.  Thank-goodness that there are still honest people in the world!  :)
One of my favorite AOKs that happened this wk revolved around the loss of my class mascot-a stuffed penguin named Chilly!  It was a very sad, complicated story but it truly brought out the best in others.  First, my sweet girl Mady told me that I could use  her "girl" penguin Mrs. Chilly until we found another.  Then...one of my sweet students brought in her own penguin-which we deemed Chilly #2.  She told me that, "You wanted to keep Chilly for a lifetime & since he got lost I brought you this penguin to keep for a lifetime."  How incredibly sweet is that?  :)
We sent a BD card to a friend that had a BD this wk.  :)
Friday night, I took Mady to the circus & we were getting waters on the way home.  I had left my water on top of the car & a young man came running up to my car-I was very nervous b/c it was late & I was by myself with Mady.  I wouldn't roll my window down & he pointed to my roof & then handed me my water that I had left up there.  It's SO NICE to be pleasantly surprised by people!  :)
I also got the NICEST phone call Friday!  One of the elderly gentlemen that we had sent a BD card to called to thank me & the class for his card.  His wife had passed away two wks ago & he said he was having a really hard day.  He went to his mailbox & our BD card was in there!  He wants to bring my kids a treat & thank them in person tomorrow!  :)  It just goes to show that you never know how one small act of kindness can mean to someone!  :)  That phone call made my Friday!  :)
This wk we also did our regular recycle trash for K & 1st.  We turned in 485 box tops which earned $48.50 for our school!  We did 3 Get Well cards for several people this wk.  We sent one to one of our parents that had a torn miniscus surgery Thursday.  We're giving one to Mrs. Earle-our librarian-she's having gall bladder surgery on Fall Break.  Finally, we're sending one to a lady that I met when I was picking up our T-Shirts for the Color Me Rad race.  She is a fellow teacher & suffering from ovarian cancer.
Like I said, it was a GREAT wk for Acts of Kindness!  :)

Current Total = 362!  :)
