10. Character Counts! Pillar of the Month: CARING Pay it Forward! A Random Act of Kindness is a really fun way to demonstrate how we care about other people. It can be people we know or we may choose to show this kindness to someone we don’t know so well. Either way, it usually has a snowball effect! Try to show a random act of kindness this week. Here are some ideas, but you can probably think of a lot more! Leave a treat for someone Write a note to your parents or teacher about why you admire them Call your Grandparents Help your younger brother or sister with their homework Hold the door for someone Do a chore for someone at home Let someone go in front of you in line Wilson, 2015
