World Kindness Day Kicked Off Year-End Celebration at Woodlynde School
On World Kindness Day, the fourth-grade class at Woodlynde School created their own Kindness Rocks, colored and painted with smiles, hearts, and even words of affirmation.
The fourth graders then made a presentation to other students in Woodlynde’s K-5 division explaining why they chose the images on their Kindness Rocks and the next step in their rocks’ journeys - hiding their Kindness Rocks around Woodlynde School for all students, faculty, staff, and even parents to find! The hope is that when these rocks are found, they will bring some cheer, a smile, or make someone’s day instantly better. As the fourth graders explained, once you find a rock, you have two options. One, you can take the rock and then hide it in another place on campus for another student, faculty member, or parent to find in the hope they will then do the same. The second option is that you can take the rock home, but you must then create your own Kindness Rock and hide it on campus for others to find.
The Kindness Rocks Project, founded by Megan Murphy, was created with the hope that something so small, at any moment, can change someone’s day, their outlook, or quite frankly, their life. The messages on these rocks come in all different forms of gratitude, affirmations, and encouragement for someone to find at the right time.
Our first Kindness Rock was found by Woodlynde’s Interim Head of School, George N. King, Jr., who promptly hid the rock again for someone else to find. Woodlynde’s Kindness Rocks continue to bring kindness into the Woodlynde community.
