Today, on November 13, as we celebrate World Kindness Day, I would like to recognize the efforts to two of our Wildcats who just happen to be brothers - Lincoln (fourth grade student in Miss Minster's class) and Badger (first grade student in Mrs. Driscoll's class). Together, and with the support of their family, Lincoln and Badger accepted GDW's October Kindness Challenge, where they demonstrated over 100 acts of kindness! Lincoln and Badger worked with their family to write a letter and then deliver it to 115 homes in our community, asking for donations to support the D300 Food Pantry, the Anderson Animal Shelter, the Community Crisis Center, and PADS of Elgin. In total, they collected:
- 17 grocery bags of food
- 10 bags/boxes of blankets and towels
- 3 large dog crates
- 7 bags and boxes of hygiene products
- 11 bags of winter apparel
I am so proud of Lincoln and Badger and am thankful that they chose to sprinkle kindness throughout our community. Keep choosing kind, Wildcats!
