Smile...You`ve Just Been Tagged!

Senior Jarell Lee has asked a question this National Random Act of Kindness Week: is kindness truly contagious? Starting in September of 2003, small cards with the words \"Smile, You`ve Just Been Tagged\" began appearing all around the world. They are markers of a newfangled game of tag, where \"you`re it\" because someone has done something nice for you. Then it`s your turn to do something nice for someone else and, in the process, pass the card along. This is a game of pay-it-forward: anonymously make someone smile, leave behind a card telling them to keep the ripple going. It`s easy and fun. You`re the scientist and the world is your laboratory. Jarell has brought this game to the halls of Hawken`s Upper School. So...is kindness truly contagious? There`s only one way to find out...pick up the colorful cards in front of Cheryl`s office all this week and tag someone (everyone!). So far over 400 cards have been printed and tagged. Keep the ripple going! Learn more about this international program here.
