Do you ever get tired of all the bad news?      Here’s a good one.

Good News Network, By mgreenhoe -Mar 2, 2019  Kindness is seeping into the classrooms and corridors of an elementary school in Minnesota thanks to a group of fifth-graders.

The kids at Parker Elementary School started a Kindness Club last year, and observers say it’s having a positive impact on classroom culture.

“There had been some issues in fifth grade of kids not being very kind to each other,” said Ashley Justen, a social worker at the school in Elk River. Teachers had talked to some of the students and told them things had to change because ‘that’s not how you treat people,’ Justen said.

Fifth-grade teacher Matt Greenhoe said he had been talking with his students one day about improving the situation when one of the kids, Ady Bolling  suggested starting the Kindness Club.“I said, ‘That’s a great idea,’ and I just kind of let them go,” Greenhoe said.
