December Kindness Day
Thursday, December 20th, 2018
Theme:
Kindness Secret Service
Kindness Challenge:
Find a way to secretly serve
this holiday season.
Happiness comes from giving and serving others. This is a great time of year to teach the value of giving and serving, and nothing teaches it better than by example. Find a service, either with your school or for just your class where you can kindle the spirit of giving
and service.
CLASSROOM DISCUSSION:
Teach them to serve rather than be served. One of the best ways to give kids practice in real-world kindness is to serve others. Get the whole school involved to serve people in need. Find opportunities to lend a hand with Habitat for Humanity, Humane Society, nursing homes, even opportunities in your school. When kids realize the impact they can make by serving and being kind to others, you begin to foster a servant’s heart in them, and that’s a beautiful thing.
Discuss with your class how they can use their own uniqueness and talents to serve others around them. Pass out this Mission Possible handout and have your students prepare their service missions to become SECRET AGENTS! Have your students report back ways that they performed secret service through the holiday season.
Happy Holidays!
I would like to take time to reflect on the past year and thank all the individuals that have supported and served through the CKM. We will forever be grateful.
Our family has had an amazing opportunity to meet so many individuals that we possibly would have never met. We are grateful for this and consider you all friends and second family. Many of you have graced us with your generosity, talents, connections, kindness, love, and support. THANK YOU!
The CKM evolved out of love for our daughter and now continues out of love for all of our children and for yours. As our family grows and evolves, we know that the CKM will too in it’s own way.
This journey has enticed many life lessons thus far and has brought personal growth. Consider serving in your community, you won’t regret it. Service has a profoundness on the individual serving, the recipient, and also bystanders. I have found that by serving and serving with my family, that we have had the opportunity to be apart of something bigger than ourselves and it has been a life-changing experiences that will always be apart of us.
May you find happiness in giving and serving others this holiday season,
Melissa Nelson
CKM Founder and President
