Saturday, April 28th, 2018 is International Pay It Forward Day (PIFD). At last count, there were more than 5 million people in 80 countries around the world participating on this day. Pay it Forward Day was built by volunteers around the world to inspire a huge ripple effect of kindness in the community.
Pay it forward day is about all people, from all walks of life giving to someone else and making a positive difference. For 2018, the goal is to inspire over 10 million acts of kindness around the world. Imagine the difference that would make. In order to recognize this AWESOME initiative, both elementary schools will be distributing "Pay It Forward" cards to each classroom. Each teacher will receive one card per student. The idea is for students to do one kind deed for someone else (with no expectation to receive anything in return), and then pass the card on to that person requesting they do a kind deed for someone else. The cards will then be in circulation and can be shared both in or outside of school. Let’s see how far we can reach!! A special shout out to the Park Avenue Student Council students who took the time to count out and sort all of the cards! For those teachers in the primary grades that feel their students may be too young to participate with the cards, we thought the cards could still be sent home with students for their parents to participate if they should choose. So why should we Pay It Forward? ♥To encourage all of us to embrace the incredible power of giving. ♥To show each other that we care and that there is love, hope and magic all around us. ♥To know that we may be only one person in this world, but to one person, at one time, we are the world. Together we can change the world, one good deed at a time! Why not start a positive chain reaction today? Comments are closed.
