Holding slips of paper inside envelopes on a board outside the library, school librarian Amanda Trussell started Randoms Acts of Kindness (RAK) as a way to spread more love around the school.  

“I put up the board hoping that people would get the idea of what kind of things are nice, that was really my whole thought behind it and what it meant to me,” Trussell said.

The board also encourages students to take a picture of the card they choose to take and tweet it with the hashtag #RangerKind. Trussell hopes to see the idea catch on and be spread among the students through social media such as Twitter to ensure that more kindness is being passed along throughout the school.

“I don’t have a group or anything, I was just more like one person getting one good idea could spread,” Trussell said. “My end goal, really, would be to change the culture here a little bit and where maybe we’re just kinder to people just because we’re humans and we should all be kind to one another.”
