Triton spreads Random Acts of Kindness

by | Nov 27, 2018 | Events, In the News, New Content

Newbury Elementary School PTA (NES PTA), Pine Grove School PTA (PGS PTA), and Salisbury PTA (SES PTA) AKA Triton PTAs have been collaborating to help spread Random Acts of Kindness. This project has encouraged youth to think about how they can make a positive impact in their community, shows youth that adults care about them, and helps bring the community together.

Salisbury Elementary PTA president, Jen Roketenetz, said this activity is bringing out the best in her community. “We have been having so much fun collaborating on this project each week. Peeps that live in our community are just inherently kind, we are simply giving them an opportunity to shine!This project is intended not just for kids, not just for grown ups, not just for Triton- it’s for all of  us to enjoy a kind act bestowed and to bestow. Each week’s initiative is intended to be simple and achievable for all – try it on, we know kind looks good on everyone!”

You can support this initiative by liking one or all of our PTAs on Facebook or follow all the Triton Random Acts of Kindness on Facebook!

You can participate too!  Show someone you care by helping them out, or simply saying thank you.  Small gestures go a long way.  Take a picture and share with the group.  Help spread the word that kindness works!  You can reach out to any of the PTA’s if you have an idea or want to be connected to this great initiative.

Some examples of these projects can be found below.

  • I printed and shared the RAK Cards with my 2nd grade Brownie Troop, just one day later they are asking for more 🙂 My daughter, Lucy, shared hers in her classroom and by the end of the day it made thru the hands of each student! Awesomeness!
  • One “Mimi” decided to treat ALL the nail technicians in the salon to a $20 tip!
  • Michael C stopped by the book fair to thank Mrs. Chalifour for all her hard work.
  • In honor of yesterday’s act of kindness suggestion  Mrs. Pacenka’s  5th grade generated a list of ways to be kind to their neighbors. I know many of them have big helpful plans for the future.
  • I was just talking to a PGS parent who mentioned that Mrs. Coppola sent this home with all her students as a way to spread RAKs…it really is contagious!
  • SES PTA did a little sprucing up in the restrooms – hope your kiddos love them!

About Us The Essex County Asset Builder (ECAB) Network creates regional connections and supports for individuals, families and organizations from Amesbury, Georgetown, Newbury, Rowley, Salisbury and Newburyport, in using a positive youth development approach to help youth thrive. Positive Youth Development Being a part of the ECAB Network brings local and regional opportunities.  Locally, communities have access to trainings, data, and best practices, and receive guidance on implementation and outreach strategies that build positive youth development possibilities.  Communities also get the benefit of regionalizing efforts, where networking, combining resources, current policies, and a shared vision strengthen the towns and cities as well as the region. History Recently, the communities of Amesbury, Georgetown, Newbury, Rowley, Salisbury and Newburyport came together to form the Essex County Asset Builder Network.  Funded by a three year grant, the goal of this Network is to create a common language of asset- based youth development (creating protective factors). It has been shown that youth who have more assets are less likely to engage in risky behaviors.  This grant will use the 40 Developmental Assets framework to build these protective factors and reduce risk behaviors by focusing on both the youth and the environment that shapes them. The community partnership will enhance the great work already being done to support youth and families, as well as expand community supports, opportunities, and resources. Additionally, the grant will collect and disseminate regional data, coordinate shared resources and bring educational opportunities for various sectors of the community. Goal To spread the philosophy and practice of the positive youth development approach through implementation of 40 Developmental Asset framework within communities across the region. We will accomplish this goal by: Mission To use a positive youth development approach to build networks within each community and across the region that help decrease risk behaviors in youth and produce a healthier community. Vision A network of communities that welcome, value and empower youth through meaningful opportunities and collaborative efforts to support and strengthen youth assets and increase healthy decision making.
