As you can see, we ended up not at Ponderosa, but at the boys' elementary school. What is better than holding doors when over 700 people need to enter a building within just 45 minutes?
The building is unlocked at 7:15 am, so we planned to be there by 7:20 am...yeah, that didn't happen. By the time we made it to school, parked, and walked over, it was 7:35 am. Each of the boys grabbed a door just as more buses were unloading students.
I grabbed this picture with my phone between the busloads so I wouldn't get any other students in the picture. However, we had inspired another student to also hold doors, but he will remain anonymous. : ) After 10 minutes of opening and closing the doors, the two older ones headed inside to class.
Joey (far left in the picture) did really well with smiling at students and even greeted a few with a hearty, "Welcome!" Noah (second from left, hiding behind his fedora) kept his enthusiasm low key. And Jacob (far right) was pretty good at just hanging in there.
This was a good start to our random acts of kindness project, something simple with little effort. I hope they do warm up to this a little more each week!
