MGM Counseling Department
From your Gator School Counselors...
MGM is celebrating Random Acts of Kindness week next week, February 11th-15th! Help us spread kindness by encouraging your student to participate in the "Caught Being Kind" Challenge! Your student can nominate anyone they "caught being kind" in the Counseling Center each day. This could be a staff member or student they see spreading kindness to those around them.
Here are some examples of random acts of kindness:
1. Hold the door open for someone.
2. Do a chore for someone without them knowing.
3. Tell a joke.
4. Leave happy notes around town.
5. Call your grandparents and ask them about their childhood.
6. Pick up litter.
7. Let someone go ahead of you in line.
8. Compliment a friend.
9. Wash someone’s car.
10. Write a thank you note for your mail carrier.
