" A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." -Amelia Earhart We kicked off this week with a student's amusing suggestion for an April Fools' joke on the other girls: "Brown E's, aka brownies!" The girls found it both cheesy and hilarious... and delicious, too! Additionally, April's theme for Girls First is Kindness💜. We're excited to re-launch our month-long "Spots of Kindness Counts Challenge" and various kindness-themed lessons and activities, such as a head-scratching teamwork forward Kindness Scavenger Hunt. It's our hope that these activities and this month-long challenge remind the girls and one another that kindness can be discovered everywhere, especially in small acts, and that we should try our best to proceed with kindness in our daily lives.
