National Random Acts of Kindness Day is observed annually on February 17, serving as a powerful reminder that even the simplest act of kindness can brighten someone’s day and uplift our entire community.

Gadsden ISD invites all campuses and departments to participate in Random Acts of Kindness Week by spreading positivity, compassion, and generosity across our schools and community.

Whether it’s a kind word, a helping hand, a note of appreciation, or a small gesture of support, every act—big or small—makes a difference.
