R.A.K Day 2020
First Period
Good morning Wildcats! Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, also known as
R.A.K.
We perform Random Acts of Kindness when we go beyond what is expected of us
and reach out to help another person. There are three simple steps to performing
a Random Act of Kindness.
The first step is to find out what another person needs. For example, Sally
has her hands full and she needs to open the door to get to her class.
 The second step is to think about how you would feel if you had that need.
You might feel frustrated if your hands were full and you could not easily open
the door by yourself.
 The final step to performing a Random Act of Kindness is to offer your
help. Hold the door open and let Sally enter.
There are hundreds of ways to show someone that you care. Today, look for
opportunities to show that you care by performing Random Acts of Kindness.

Today, staff members will be giving away candy for students “caught” in an act of
random kindness! Let’s make today SWEET!
Second Period:
Hi Wildcats! We hope that you are really taking the time to participate in
Random Acts of Kindness day. As you go throughout the day remember to show
empathy. Kindness and empathy are very closely related: kindness is simply
empathy in action. When we understand how someone feels and then do
something about it, we are showing kindness. Even if you sometimes do not think
that anyone notices when you are being kind, remember the words of the Ancient
Storyteller, Aesop. “No act of Kindness, however small, will go unnoticed”.
Currently, we have reported ____________ number of Random Acts of
Kindness so far.
Third Period:
Hi Wildcats! Wow, we have made it to 3rd period and Random Acts of
Kindness are happening everywhere. Remember that part of kindness
is showing appreciation to those who help you. Appreciation is when
you are thankful for what someone else has done for you. Do you have
a friend that you can always depend on? Has one of your teachers
taken the extra time to help you learn something new? Try to find the
time today to say thank you to the people who mean the most to you.
Remember: a simple “thank you” can go a long way! Currently, we
have _________number of Random Act of Kindness reported so
far.
R.A.K Day 2020
Fourth Period:
Can you feel the kindness in the air? Remember kindness is about
making and keeping friends. One study found that students who
performed Random Acts of Kindness felt more accepted by their
classmates, and had more friends than the students who did not
perform Random Acts of Kindness. When you are kind to others,
more people want to be around you. Being kind to others is one of the
best ways to make and keep friends! How will you show kindness to
students in your class today?
You guys are awesome; we have _______number of random acts of
kindness reported so far!
Fifth period:
Random Acts of Kindness Day is almost over. We hope that you are
getting the message about passing kindness on. When we do kind
things for people, they feel so good about what we did that they often
do kind acts for others. As kindness is passed on from one person to
another, an outward ripple effect is created, like a raindrop that falls
into water. In this way, one Random Act of Kindness can be passed
on and on, bringing happiness to many others. Anthropologist
Margaret Mead once said, “Never believe that a few caring people
can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” Thanks
to all the students and staff for helping to make this a great day! Now
let’s all work together to pass the kindness on throughout our school
and into our community.
Our total number of random acts of kindness has reached ________
so far!
Sixth period:
It’s been a wonderful day! We have a grand total of
_________________random acts of kindness reported for the day.
Remember, kindness starts with you. Be the change that you want to
see. Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
