World Kindness Day

Ever since the World Kindness Movement (WKM) began decades ago, the world has been celebrating random acts of kindness on World Kindness Day. The annual holiday, observed each year on Nov.13, is a day that celebrates and promotes kindness and good will all around the globe. World Kindness Day is also a wonderful opportunity for teachers to encourage compassion and kindness in the classroom and school.

Whether it’s big or small, today is the perfect time to do something nice for someone else - the neighbor, co-worker, friend or stranger. It's important to remember even the smallest gesture of kindness could make a great big difference in person’s life. Whether it's a hug, sincere compliment or a small gift, the world would be a happier and less stressful place if we all remembered to be kind to one another.
