About:

Students are quietly spreading joy at Forest Lake Elementary School in the Wantagh School District, taking their mission seriously to serve as secret kindness agents. 

It’s actually not so secret, because every student in the school has been anointed a kindness agent. Principal Jessica Zimmer said that students get different missions such as thanking an adult in the school, saying “hi” to five new people or cleaning something up. They don’t share their mission with others, they just do the kind deeds. 

Ms. Zimmer said that the intrigue adds a level of excitement in which students want to do small, kind acts for others. Every child received a lanyard and name tag, and got to come up with his or her own secret agent name.

The idea came from the book “Secret Kindness Agents” by Ferial Pearson. Ms. Zimmer said that Forest Lake students are reflecting on their acts of kindness through writing, drawing, a video or a digital presentation.
