In recognition of Random Act of Kindness Day, the students and staff at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville created a Kindness Tree in the school’s main hallway.

Students also read books about being kind and learned about the importance of paying it forward. Every time that a student or staff member was spotted being kind, a heart with their name on it was added to Northwest’s tree.

The students were so excited to see their name on the tree and it encouraged them to complete more random acts of kindness.
