In remembrance of the lives lost and the heroic efforts of those who served during the tragic terrorist attacks on September 11th—now recognized as a National Day of Service—we observe the 25th anniversary of that solemn day. To honor this occasion, we invite you to participate in a “Pay It Forward” initiative.
Your task is to perform a random act of kindness. After completing your good deed, please encourage each recipient to “Pay It Forward” by passing along a coupon (below), fostering a continuous chain of kindness. This initiative aims to transform a day of tragedy into a lasting tribute through compassion and generosity.
Instructions for participation:
Perform a random act of kindness for someone. We want to be safe - do this with the help of an adult.
Have someone take a photograph of you while completing the act.
Give your coupon to the recipient to encourage the continuation of kind deeds.
Email your photo to Ms. Thiffault, Principal of Ridgeway, at Dolphins@mtschools.org
Submit a reflection paragraph addressing the following:
Description of your random act of kindness
The person for whom you completed the act (If you know them)
Their reaction
How the experience made you feel
The assignment deadline to submit via email is Monday, September 22nd.
By submitting the photo and reflection, you acknowledge and grant permission for your child’s/your image to be shared with the community on Manchester Township School District’s website and social media platforms, as well as shared with the media.
This project was inspired by the “Pay it forward project” in the classroom of Ms. Laurie McAvoy.
