Morning Announcments

During National Kindness Week each day Leadership students gave examples of Random Acts of Kindness students could complete. Each act of kindness is dedicated to our inspiring individual quotes for Black History Month. 

Today’s Act of Kindness example is inspired by baseball great Jackie Robinson and his quote “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” 

Today, think of someone at Stone who has made a positive impact on you. Let them know by sending them a note in Schoology.

Today’s Act of Kindness example is inspired by Olympic Athlete Jesse Owens who competed in track and field during the controversial Summer Olympics in Berlin in 1936. He was the first American to win four Gold Medals in one Olympics. Mr. Owens once said, “In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.”

Today, in honor of Mr. Owens' hard work and dedication that opened doors for many who followed in his footsteps, take the time to hold the door open for others today. 

Today’s Act of Kindness example is inspired by Susan L. Taylor, an American editor, writer, and journalist. She served as editor-in-chief of Essence Magazine from 1981 through 2000 and was an advocate for those in need.  Ms. Taylor said “Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.”

Today, consider collecting gently used items at home to donate to those in need. 

Today’s Act of Kindness example is inspired by Dr. Mae Jemison, an American engineer, physician, and former NASA astronaut. She became the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Dr. Jemison once said, “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.”

Today, in honor of Dr. Jemison’s inspiring and  trailblazing work in Science and Engineering, write a note to someone who inspires you to be a better person, friend, student, artist, or athlete. 

Today’s Act of Kindness example is inspired by Coretta Scott King, who was an American author, activist, civil rights leader, and the wife of Martin Luther King Jr. As an advocate for African-American equality, she was a leader for the civil rights movement in the 1960s. King was also a singer who often incorporated music into her civil rights work. Mrs. King once said, ““Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”

Today, in honor of Mrs. King’s work as a civil rights activist, open your heart and mind to others by inviting someone new to sit with you at lunch.
