Since 2007, Good Deeds Day has been a global movement that has united over 60 countries around the world in doing good deeds. Millions of people and thousands of organizations and businesses worldwide have united together every year to do good and volunteer, putting into practice the simple idea that every person can do a good deed, be it large or small, to improve the lives of others and positively impact the world.
WHEN: April 4th through 10th
WHY: To promote the STEPS Asset of Positive Peer Influence and make the Southington community an even better place to live!
HOW: Show the community all of the Good Deeds that happen every day here in Southington by posting pictures of your Good Deeds on the Southington STEPS Facebook page or emailing them to southingtonsteps@gmail.com.
Good Deeds Week with STEPS. Do Good - Doing Good.
Here are a few examples of Good Deeds for at Home, School and in the Community from the STEPS Coalition Advisory Board. More examples
Donate food or clothing
Hold the door for the person behind you
Spread school spirit and positivity by posting a list of all the reasons you love your school. This can be a group project where a whiteboard is hung in the school and all students can write positive things on it.
Bring in your neighbor’s garbage can
Donate blood
Send a handwritten thank you note
Offer to do chores for a family member
Ask your grandparents to teach you something, like a family recipe, or tell a story. They will appreciate that you care enough to want to learn from them. Passing down traditions is fun.
And this is only the beginning of what you can do to make a positive difference in our community.
