This October we are encouraging the students at our local schools to pump'kin each other up with kindness.  To do and say kind things to each other and make our schools a more positive place.  

We also challenged our high school students to go and serve others this October.  

Here are some fun flyers to print out to go along with your service.

Enjoy!

We encourage you to Egg someone, its fun!

Please go and Egg someone this Easter.

We want you to do what?"  That's right, go "Egg" someone.  

Get a group together and write kind things on paper, put them in some plastic eggs, add candy if you want, then leave them in someone's yard, on their porch, or in their locker and then run.  

When they find out they have been "egg"ed it will make their day.

 For the past three years we have done this as a MiteE Team, and it is one of our favorite activities.  There is something fun about "egg"ing others on through kindness.  Make this a fun part of your holiday tradition.  

Add a twist at school,  play pass the egg. 

 Copy this note and then write a personal note on a paper as well put it in a plastic egg.

  Surprise someone by giving them the "egg" full of thoughtfulness.  Then they must write a kind note and pass it to someone else.  See how far kindness can go in your school or home.  

Share this "egg"ceptional game at your school.  Enjoy

I love the Olympics.  It is such an inspiring few weeks to see years of training on display.  It is where the best of the best come to be showcased.  Since I was a child I have loved watching and imagining that I was an Olympian.  One year we got used ice skates for Christmas and we would go to a frozen canal by our house and pre-tend that we were Olympic skaters competing for the gold. Now, I watch my own children put on socks and skate around on our wood floor competing for their gold.  As I watched them skate around, I realized that everyday we all have opportunities to go for the gold.  We should all be in training so that when those moments come along we are ready to make the most of the situation and do our best.  So many times in life, just like in the Olympics, it is only the difference of a split second that determines if we have an ordinary moment or a gold medal moment.  

With this idea in mind we created some fun videos reminding our local students that they are in charge of their moments, and they have the power to go for the gold.  Join them as they try to make the world a better place one moment at a time. Enjoy.http://youtu.be/Dy99Aj_QSUk
