The Grade 3 students at Brookside Public School have been at it again. They have been showing others that Anybody can be Somebody Who Cares! Using the ageless, genderless, nameless blue doll known as Nobody, students have embarked on simple acts of kindness to prove that just by doing little things they can make a big difference. Students have been helping other people, the environment and animals in so many ways. Each week a different student gets to take home the Nobody doll, do something to help someone or something, then add a momento to the doll and add a page to the scrapbook. To learn more about program, visit whoisnobody.com for details. The students have shared some of their experiences:
For my Nobody project I helped people by giving people choices on how to spend time with family and friends. I put two little dolls holding hands on Nobody. It made me feel good because some people do not spend enough time with their family!
Our class helped the kindergarten students learn how to read. Some of them like to read so they enjoyed working with us. That made us feel good. To help them read, some of us would go to the kindergarten room with letters and words for them to practice.

Share books so you can read a new book and don’t have to read the book over and over again. Our class had a book swap. You could switch a book or pay 25 cents to buy a different book. It helps us get new books and it helps the environment too. We are going to donate the money we raised to our pen pals in Ethiopia, Africa.

For my Nobody project I told people about rice.com is a website where you answer questions and win rice for the starving people in the world. It helps the starving people by giving them food because they can’t get their own healthy food. They get bad water and food. It helps more people survive when you play. It will also makes you feel great helping other people.

For my Nobody project, I helped the earth by picking up garbage in the ditch. I added a recycling pin to nobody. This makes me feel kind because it helps the earth a lot. A lot of people just throw garbage out their window. Please stop throwing garbage out your window. It harms the earth, the animals and it looks gross!

My Nobody project was about telling people to keep washing hands.
You should remind people to keep washing hands, stay home when you are sick, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and don’ t share personal items. It made my day. I added hand sanitizer to Nobody.
