Nominate a 'kind kid' for award

October is Kindness Month. Do you know a child who goes above and beyond to help others? If so, nominate him or her for the Connecting for Kids Kind Kid Award.

The Kind Kid Award is given to a child 12 years of age or younger who demonstrates kindness and compassion to peers. The nomination should include specific examples of acts of kindness performed by the nominee.

The nomination deadline is Friday, Nov. 1. To nominate a child, please fill out the online form found on the organization’s website at connectingforkids.org/Board-Awards. Every child nominated will receive a certificate to reinforce his or her actions.
