Kiss a Horse!
We gave each teacher a jar with their
name on it so that any student could
put money in the jar. The teacher
with the most money will get to kiss a
horse.
Hill City High School
We hosted a Trunk-or-Treat to provide a safe
environment for local youth on Halloween.
We encouraged free-will-donation and donated over 80 lbs of non-perishable food and hygiene items to the Ringneck Roost, our school pantry.
Hoisington Middle School
KAY Members created a Kindness Challenge for two weeks in November. There is a scoreboard by the office doors where teachers and staff are able to add points if they see a student being kind. The grade with the most points at the end of the two weeks earns free time during their homeroom hour. In the morning announcements, the students included ways to be kind to others.

Quinter High School
For the month of September, our club wanted to spread kindness throughout our school, so we made bookmarks and wrote positive messages on the backs of them, then passed them out to other students.
Stockton High School
Sylvan-Lucas Unified High School
KAYS brought treats for the first week of school for teachers to help get the year off on the right foot!
October we completed our annual “Do’s and Don’ts of Halloween”, where all of our 68 members go to the grade school in costumes and help remind the little kids of the safe things to do during Halloween. We then handed out trick or treat bags with candy for all the students.
In the month of November for KAY’s citizenship week we plan to do many things, but one of them is an ice cream sundae bar for the members of our club. For our Area 4 project we plan to bring a local drink and treat trailer to our school and open it up to the staff and the student body. The board members are going to bring snacks for students to enjoy also. We plan to do various other things to do for our school and our community.
WaKeeney-Trego Community High School
TCHS members signed up to go down to the Grade School to make Kindness clips with the after school kids.
Kindness clips are clothes pins with warm-hearted words drawn on them. Students colored the clothespins and gave them to someone in their life to show to love and be loved.
WaKeeney-Trego Community Junior High School
TJH KAY Members sign-up to bring treats during the two nights of Parent Teacher Conferences – so faculty and staff have treats to get them through the long days!
Winona-Triplains High School
During the Halloween party, PreK-12th grade sat down together and colored kindness pages and also made a “Kindness Caterpillar.” Each student wrote what they think kindness means to them, without using the word kind. Displayed all the colored pages and the caterpillar in the hallway of the school for the rest of the school year.
