“Kindness Works! Pass It On” is the official slogan used by those taking an active role in the campaign for kindness.  For many years now, the simple act has provided inspiration for school community members to do good deeds all around the county.

The special week began back in 2004.  It started small, but like the person it was organized in memory of, it has grown to involve and touch so many people in a positive way.  Example after example can be found throughout the school system, and the mission carries on today stronger than ever. 

In its earliest years, the celebration was a one-day effort. It has grown to incorporate an entire week of activities within schools and beyond. The current observance gained a boost when a formal designation came by way of State Representative Andy Welch, older brother of the movement’s inspiration, Hunter Welch.  The big brother worked with the House of Representatives in 2012 on House Resolution 1302 to make an official week of the celebration every second week in November across the state of Georgia.
