Nu Alpha Gamma Chapter donates kindness rocks to Perry High School counselors
"If you can be anything, BE KIND." The Nu Alpha Gamma Chapter of women educators certainly took this mantra to heart as they gathered to decorate kindness rocks at their May 6 chapter meeting. Members used their skills and creativity with paint markers to add encouraging sayings to more than 50 rocks.
The Perry High School counselors will be receiving the kindness rocks. During this extra challenging school year, the counselors will be able to offer the kindness rocks to students who visit their office.
Reaching out to counselor Tammy Valline a week later, she shared an activity involving the rocks called "Amazing Race" for the MVP leaders (Mentor and Violence Prevention). A scavenger hunt was held at Wiese Park and the kindness rocks decorated the tables. The 13 senior leaders were able to choose a rock to hide, give away or keep.
Activities for freshmen involving the climate of the school, caring and respect are facilitated through out the year by the MVP senior leaders. Valline said that the rocks would be given as a "pick me up" for encouraging students. That is exactly what the Nu Alpha Gamma members were hoping — to make someone's day a little brighter.
