The Grade 12 class at Hamiota Collegiate is leading “The Gift of Kindness” project this school year. At the beginning of the school year, the group of 25 students was approached by staff to ask if there was anything special they would like to happen during their senior year. The students were given time to hold a collaborative brainstorming session and discuss ideas of how they might want to make a difference in their school, local area or global community. The ideas they put forth are the basis for developing this project.
Ideas put forth by students to promote kindness in their school, community and school division were:
• organize a teddy bear toss during a high school hockey game and distribute teddies to less fortunate children during the holiday season
• collect food to make hampers for less fortunate families and distribute them during the holiday season
• host a speaker (preferably from the Rachel’s Challenge program) to encourage everyday acts of kindness
• spend one day away from school, volunteering for an organization which benefits others
Watch for more posts as our project develops!

I have so far come up with the idea to collect car/industrial batteries to raise money for a chariety. I have also help make posters for the food drive so that people will know when and where to drop off the food.
