RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
iUprep students finding a way to be kind!
Kindness. The quality that brightens the lives of many individuals on a daily basis. The quality that we, the contributors of The Random Acts of Kindness Group, think should be implemented in the daily schedule of every iUniversity Prep student.
This project was inspired by the month of December’s “Random Acts of Kindness” theme, created by Emma Johnson. Other contributors include: Alexander Hurst, Nathan Janak, Lauren Lawshe, Kati Moffett, Jaci Pope, Jess Pope, and Jordan Story. The group is overseen by Mr. Carter and Dr. Rogers.
Here are the responses that we have received so far:

Although the project was centered around the month of December, we wish to expand year-round. Further, we are looking into the possibility of creating a club. This would mean more than just delivering messages. Such as face to face opportunities for everyone to get together and have a great time. We wish to bring as much kindness and joy into our school as possible. In doing so, we cannot achieve this goal without your help!
What can you do to help? Fill out this form to help us to spread kindness and joy school-wide!
