Random acts of kindness form a quilt
People say that performing good deeds makes you feel warm inside, but at Connoquenessing Elementary School, good deeds performed this month will be displayed for others to see, too.
February is dedicated to love and kindness at the school, and every good deed reported made up a square on a quilt that the students and staff assembled on Valentine’s Day.
Principal Hope Hull said every classroom’s “kindness quilt” will be sewn together to make one big quilt that represents all the lessons about kindness they learned this month. The school teaches students in grades kindergarten through fifth.
“There are different activities, what does it mean to be kind, what does it look like to be kind,” Hull said. “Every week there is a different theme, and the classrooms have a series of different lessons that revolve around kindness and kindness toward others, not just inside the classroom but in the community.”
Hull said the combined quilt will be displayed in the school.
