Kindest Kansas Citian
Think of all the kind people you know. Now pick one that you
would like to nominate for the Kindest Kansas Citian by describing on paper that
person’s kind act. That is what teachers
asked their students to do a few weeks ago.
Out of the many nominations, one paper was chosen from each
classroom to be read by the nominator at the Kindest Kansas Citian Assembly
at Heritage. The kind people who were
nominated were invited to attend the assembly with the students whose lives
they had touched. Some of Heritage staff were also nominated.One of our students, Ray, wrote how Olathe Medical Center (OHC) had taken such wonderful care of his mom during her cancer treatments, and when Ray had his tonsils out. Three staff members from Olathe Medical Center attended the assembly with doughnuts for the whole school. They were so moved by the honor that they spread the word throughout the Olathe Health Center and created a “donation for jeans day” toward the Cancer Resource Center. Please see the letter below:
“Thank you again for allowing Olathe Health System to be a
part of your Kindest Kansas Citian assembly ~ we all thoroughly enjoyed it!
I wanted to let you know that as a result of Raymond’s OHS nomination
and directing the Jeans Day funds to the Cancer Resource Center, the 2014 Jeans
Day has brought in over $5800 ~ This is nearly double what was raised last
year!
The kindness just keeps on rippling.”
