Random acts of kindness for school can be a really fun way to make a positive difference every single day. If you enjoy making people smile and seeing them have a happier day, then this can be a fun mission for you at school. Kids who are looking out for others, being kind, helpful, and thoughtful, usually end up being the kids that everyone else wants to be friends with.
When you are thinking about ways to be kind to others at school, you may want to do this in a sneaky or secret way without anyone knowing that you are the one doing the kind deeds. If this is what you’d like to do, it would probably be a good idea to talk to your teacher or principal first, so they know what you are planning.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matt. 5:16)
The Bible says to let your lights shine so you can be an example to others. Then, when they see you being kind, it will help them to understand that God is kind as well.
