October is Kindness Month
Last Updated by

October is the MONTH OF KINDNESS! Help us spread kindness throughout the month of October and beyond with the Detroit PBS Kids Kindness Challenge! We wear sweaters to warm our bodies. When you are kind, it warms the heart. We challenge you to do something kind for someone else this month. Take a picture of you doing your act of kindness or of you wearing a sweater and share it with us on Facebook or Twitter using hashtag #KindnessChallenge. You can also add a Kindness Challenge frame to your profile picture to let everyone know that you're spreading kindness!
