San
Diego 
BE BIG In Your Community
Children from all over San Diego gathered to make
Kindness Packs to take to children at The Ronald McDonald House. Skyler
Pinto, a fourth-grade student and member of Kids for Peace, came up with
this project idea last summer, inspired by his participation in The Great Kindness Challenge.
Skyler’s idea was to make children in hospitals feel happy by giving them a care
package called a Kindness Pack. Kindness Packs (adapted form our Peace Packs)
are hand-painted knapsacks filled with art supplies, toys, a healthy snack, a
stuffed animal, a book and a caring note of friendship from the child making
the pack. Skyler entered his idea in Scholastic’s BE BIG in Your Community Contest
and won a $2,500 award to bring his big idea to life.
The
nearly 100 boys and girls who participated were treated
to a festive pep rally
featuring musician Karl Anthony and a special video narrated by Skyler Pinto. In the video, Skyler shared his BIG IDEA and encouraged other
children to “BE BIG” and make a difference in their community by joining
The Great Kindness Challenge and living out the Kids for Peace Peace Pledge.
  After assembling the Kindness Packs, children decorated
cars and created a "Kindness
Caravan" to the Ronald McDonald House, where they presented their gifts
in person.
