Our Dana Random Acts of Kindness group consists of 5th and 6th graders who are recommended by their teachers to participate in the group. Our goal is to foster a positive environment by showing kindness and being of service to others, not to receive a reward, but just because it’s the right thing to do!

Some activities take place here at school, others out in our community. Here are some activities we have participated in:

*Visited Woods Humane Society and provided donations from their wish list.

*Generated a list of positive quotes which were used for the sixth grade candy grams.

*Created positive posters which were posted around campus.

*Game a minimum of 5 compliments to other students on the playground.

*Learned how to properly fold and raise the American and California flags.
