Thank you, thank you thank you!

Thank you seems so inadequate for all that you do for our children, your students, every day you take your spot at the front of your classroom. We are grateful for the teaching you do, and so much more. We appreciate you when you step in as a pseudo parent or nurse when needed. When you act as counselor or referee, our children benefit. You make this world a better place and the Josh Stevens Foundation has noticed.

Please, log on to our brand new website: JoshStevensFoundation.org for your special Teacher Appreciation Week offer in our web store just for you! And remember: YOU’VE BEEN CAUGHT BEING KIND!!! Please, pass it on.

May 5th, Take Five for Kindness

hope — Sun, 06 May 2012 03:50:37 +0000

Fox Five interviews the Josh Stevens Foundation as they share their Take 5 for the month of May! Click here for the original article.

HENDERSON, NV (FOX5) -The number five is significant for the John Stevens Foundation.

On the fifth of every month, the foundation performs random acts of kindness and this month they’ve launched “Take 5 for KINDNESS” program.

Together with teacher Kristen Lueck and her fourth-grade class at Vanderburg Elementary School, they will be writing letters to soldiers of the platoon they’ve adopted in Afghanistan.

Along with the letters the foundation will create care packages to send to the soldiers overseas with specially designed “Be Kind” shirts.

Other acts of kindness the foundation suggest for Friday is to make an extra effort to smile or buy a hamburger for a neighbor or friend.

Smith’s helps students “Be Kind”

This morning I was walking out of a local Smith’s grocery story with daughter, when something caught her eye.

The kids from a neighboring school were working on a project…”Be Kind…Save the Earth.” We just had to take some pictures and share them!

Whitney Elementary School in Las Vegas, NV is one of the many schools who have embraced the Josh Stevens Foundation. Today, Principal Sherri Gahn was on the “Ellen” show. Students were shown wearing “Be Kind” t-shirts as they were shown their new library!

“Ellen has been working all season to help the kids of Whitney Elementary, and today they got a huge surprise — a new library! Thanks to the people of Target, the Whitney students will be studying in this beautiful new building. But that’s not all! They’ll also be able to get their reading done on a cool new Kindle Fire!”

A Lesson in Kindness

hope — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:22:08 +0000

Hi,
I used to teach at Legacy HS but am currently teaching out of state. I was wearing my Be Kind shirt in school and I had a 5th grader tell me,

“No, I don’t want to.”

Well, I explained where the shirt came from and we discussed what their Legacy is right now. It made a huge impact on my students. From a very smart alack remark to a lesson in kindness, respect how people view them and their actions.

Thanks, Cindy – Montana
