#RockportMA #lighthousechallenge

Rockport Middle/High School is proud to announce that The Lighthouse Project a group of students working with Ms. Amy Rose have designated Thursday, May 14th as a “go viral” Act of Kindness Day.

The Lighthouse Project is encouraging all RMHS students, families, faculty and staff to proudly post an act of kindness they have given or received over the course of the day using the hash tag #lighthousechallenge.

The movement is meant to prove that small, random acts of kindness can lead and inspire others to understand the power we all have to change the world. We are grateful to our new neighbors at The Institute for Savings for sponsoring this event! Look for t-shirts provided by The Institution for Savings. The blue t-shirts ask the question, “How Can We Change the World?” on the front and answer it with “One Random Act of Kindness at a Time” on the back!

In addition to t-shirts and bracelets to support the movement, middle school students are planning to put smiley face magnets with inspirational statements on every locker in the entire school! During the day students will be writing notes of appreciation for every staff member in the building including every teacher, cafeteria staff member, custodian, para-professional, nurse and office staff member. Students will be recognized for their efforts by receiving incentives and praise throughout the day.

At 2pm we have a photographer coming to take a picture of everyone who received t-shirts or bracelets for their efforts! Help us spread the movement and prove to our youth that kindness counts and that achieving big goals starts by small acts of helping others. Check out The Lighthouse project on twitter @arose_project and don’t forget to use the hashtag #lighthousechallenge to get involved!
