Kindness Week: Students Work to Support Project Linus

North Ridgeville students and staff from 10 advisory groups at NRAC 5-8 (each made up of 16-18 students) recently created no-sew fleece throws for Project Linus, a nationwide non-profit with a local chapter in Cleveland.

Material was purchased through a grant given by the NRAC Boosters. The grant provided enough money to purchase material to make 12 blankets. Students cut and tied the fabric to create each blanket.

Students and staff who were involved in the blanket project presented a representative from Project Linus with the blankets on Friday of “Kindness Week.” It was the perfect way to wrap up the weeklong celebration of being the good in the world and completing random acts of kindness whenever possible.

Kindness Week was a collaborative effort between Amy Franklin and Nikki Roth, school counselors at NRAC 3-8. The weeklong celebration was designed to connect the 2 schools that exist under one roof. Students (and staff too!) were challenged to complete as many random acts of kindness as they could throughout the week, along with other activities designed to focus on being kind.
