spring break day 2 - passion for kindness

Bryce's class has spent a good amount of the year talking about kindness.  They have focused on random acts of kindness they can do each month.  They have also been working on a Passion for Kindness Project throughout the year.  They were going to be given $10 and they had to make a plan to spend the money to carry out an act of kindness.  Bryce decided he wanted to donate supplies to the SPCA.  They were given their money on Friday so they could carry out their act of kindness this week over spring break.  


We found a wish list for our local SPCA and made a plan to get as many items as we could with the $10!  We started off at Aldi for green beans.  These are treat for dogs on a healthy diet!


They were looking for specific training treats to we made a stop at Pet Smart where he spent the majority of his money.  We found later that Target had the same treats for a little cheaper, but what do you do?


We also picked up some waste bags and limited ingredient dog food (that was specifically on the list) at the dollar store to round out his purchases.  We put it all in a cute basket and off we went to the Richmond SPCA.  


Lots of great photo ops!  He'll get to make a slide show to detail his project when he gets back to school.


The "Be Kind" sign was a perfect back drop for our project! 


This sweet lady was happy to take his donation.  


When we were done, we were able to tour the facility and see all of the sweet cats and dogs they had for adoption.  This was a great opportunity and experience for Bryce and Emmy too!
