Thank you to Erwin and his dad for coming by. Erwin took a pledge to never bully anyone! Reinforcing positive values on a continual basis is a prime example of how a child will choose never to bully another. The message needs to be a part of every child’s psyche.

Kathleen brought her granddaughter Marisa to the Kindness Bus to learn about kindness at a very early age. She left with two of Bogart’s books which teach children some valuable lessons. It’s so important to hand down core values to the younger generation in your family. I think it’s very special when it comes from grandparent to grandchild.

Children are a precious gift to hug and to hold and to love.

The Naples Manor Santa Candy Run is always such fun. Hundreds of children and families lined the parade route to receive a sweet Christmas treat. It was wonderful to hear nearly every child or adult say thank you.
