I just want to comment on random acts of kindness really quickly. I am a school librarian and host an after school cooking club.
Yesterday was the last meeting, so we held a potluck. These kids went ABOVE and beyond. Cookies, candy, cupcakes, yogurt parfaits, so much food.
One child asked her grandfather to make homemade pierogis and dropped them off, still warm. One child brought homemade lumpia.
But one student brought homemade smoked sausage, pickles, and a massive container of Polish cabbage salad. I started to plate it up to pass out to the kids, and he went, “no no, my mom says that’s for you, I know it’s your favorite.” And it IS, but his family didn’t need to do that! I was so touched.
Sorry it took me a moment to see this comment, Laura. Thank you so much for this. It's so touching and I appreciate you sharing it with all of us. I love this story and love thinking about tangible ways we can appreciate + care for the people who appreciate + care for us, including school librarians :)
