KINDNESS POETRY CONTEST WINNERS:
While you walk in your neighborhood , you see people around
No one says a peep, no one makes a sound
You hide with your phone, and you think its acceptable
Why be scared? Are we even respectable?
We choose to ignore the sights and the sounds
Making conversations with people just isn't allowed
There are friends to be made, ways to smile
But we think we should just look away , for awhile
If we took that away, maybe you would wave hi
Talk awhile with your neighbor, look them dead in the eye
Pick up trash and recycle, pay attention to the good
While you walk around in your neighborhood
Make conversations with friends and strangers
Help take out the trash, pick up a newspaper
Just be kind for the greater good
While you walk around in your neighborhood
So the next time that you walk there
Please show that you really care
Do everything that you think you should
While you walk around in your neighborhood
-Jenna Curry, grade 7
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Kindness is effortless
and its good to be kind too
You don't need to change your personality
Because you are you
Just be kind to others
And kindness will come back to you
-Zosia Yoon grade 7
Acts of Kindness all around
Acts of kindness can be found
A grasp of a hand
Planting trees across the land
An elderly man guided slowly across the street
Making a friend something good to eat
Donating blood to help the sick
Keeping a secret through thin and thick
Saying something nice for no reason at all
Raking neighbors leaves in the Fall
A beach clean up can be helpful too
Visiting a friend either old or new
Acts of kindness all around
Acts of kindness can be found
-Katelyn Vasconcellos. grade 7
