I always look forward to coming to Marco Island to return to Tommie Barfield Elementary school. This is one very special place and the students K – 5 always love seeing Bogart and the Kindness Bus pull onto their campus. Thank you to everyone who made this visit possible. See you guys again next year.

What a special occasion it was to visit this preschool. The children, from ages two through four, sat through a wonderful puppet show and reading of Bogart’s book. They really enjoyed these fun lessons in kindness. Their parents and instructors asked many great questions.

Once again, the third annual Collier County Kindness Awareness day was proclaimed by the Collier County Commissioners. They play a very big part in adding credence to this event by the very fact that they proclaim this date every year.

What a visit to a very special school. This school of 840 students is celebrating Collier County Kindness Day by involving the students in documenting their kind acts on banners that will be hung in the hallways. They will continue the kindness through to the end of the year.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this visit happen.

Over 850 students sat in on two kindness assemblies with their teachers and counselors at this Naples, Florida school. Bogart was such a big hit with the children and helped them learn, in a fun setting, to be kind and help one another.
Hearing about life’s lessons through the eyes of a dog and a handful of puppets, reinforces these same messages learned from their educators and parents.

Ten days from today it is Collier County Kindness Awareness Day. This annual event, in its third year, challenges individuals, families, schools, businesses and organizations to do some kind act for the community in Southwest Florida.
This day is certainly meant to inspire people across the United States to do something in their communities as well.

The cool air of winter has finally arrived in Florida. Temperatures have been unseasonably hot for this time year, making riding the Kindness Bicycle a challenge. The sun and the high temperatures made riding the bike and early-morning event. The cooler air is most definitely welcome.
