Mahoney Middle School held a special "Kindness Day" yesterday, featuring a presentation by Michael J. Chase, founder of The Kindness Center. My son loved the event, and it's very apparent that he and his friends got a lot out of it.
On days that school is a "half-day," many Mahoney students like to eat/shop/hang out in the Millcreek area (hopefully the merchants and others enjoy their presence!). Yesterday was no different. My son and eight of his friends went out to lunch. But they still had Kindness Day on their minds. They decided to do something kind for each other: each one of them went into the stores there and bought nine identical items, one to give away to each boy in the group. Silly sunglasses, bandannas, candy, sports drinks....
