Our program was created to help diminish the sobering Idaho Statistics of Bullying that happens in our schools, online, and in our communities.

OUR STORY:
sent twenty-six single yellow roses into their child's school anonymously, hoping that the Act of Kindness would inspire a Change of Heart in those students. The acts of kindness worked, the bullying diminished. During the summer of 2015, the Nelson's family dedicated their summer to performing acts of kindness and delivering yellow roses throughout the community as a service project. Their acts of kindness inspired a celebrated Community Kindness Week proclaimed by the City of Pocatello and Chubbuck,Idaho. Thousands of bright yellow Kindness T-shirts were funded to 8,000+ students in the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. Their efforts continued to spread to many other schools with the help of the Idaho PTA Congress and that's how the Nelson family began their advocacy that "KINDNESS is the powerful answer to Bullying Prevention."We should never underestimate the power that each of us hold as ONE PERSON that can save the life of another.
All it takes is a simple act of Kindness. #TheCKM

KINDNESS T-SHIRTS
Our Kindness T-shirt is one of the most important visual learning tools used in the CKM Annual School Program.
