Lansing School District
The Lansing School District consists of elementary, middle, and high school students in Lansing, New York. In late May, the middle school students started a movement from inside the classroom. For the 21 remaining days in the school year, each student in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will perform three acts of kindness, amounting to over 20,000 kind acts. Students will be recognizing other students with the green actively caring wristband and passing it on to others, these are their caring stories…
(If you have a caring story from Lansing, please comment below this page.)
Yesterday, during a Boy Scout meeting, one of the first years (a fifth-grader) walked up to me and told me a story about how some students from Virginia Tech came to the middle school and had a presentation about caring for people. He told me that I immediately came to mind and gave me the bracelet as soon as he saw me during the meeting. I am a senior in high school and the Senior leader of the scout troop. I really look forward to passing on my band as soon as possible as the feeling that I got when I received it is simply awesome. Congrats to the VT students who started this – it is a heartwarming program.
When you guys came to speak at Lansing we were both moved. Before you guys came to speak we were girls who were no as kind to people as we should have been. After the speech you all made we both took a look at ourselves and decided to become better people. Since then we have both gotten a green bracelet and passed it on. Thank you for teaching us a lesson we will never forget.
I was at a cooking camp, and we were making Lasania (i dont know how to spell it)…. and i was helping one person cut somthing, and someone came over, and gave me a green braslet, and that same day, i gave it away, because i didnt have enough money at the mall for somthing, and the person behind me gave me money. And then the next day, I was at the mall again, and I helped someone pay for something, and the Casheir had a green band, and gave it to me!
