What does the Checklist for Compassion Aim to do? The Dalai Lama has stated that for a community, to thoroughly embrace compassion, a long-range and practical plan must be adopted. Long-range—that’s our school children! And practical, well, that’s what this Checklist for Compassion offers in its own small way, joining our mayor’s Give-A-Day and many other magnificent and long-range programs. This Checklist intends to:  Demonstrate how our entire school system is not only consciously practicing compassion but leading the way by their inspiring volunteer service in the very categories that we think of as only for adults!  Bring joy to everyone’s hearts by seeing the scope and how much good the MANY non-profits are contributing to our region.  Offer each one of you an easy way to sign-up for enjoyable and suitable service—to volunteer compassionately.  And further long-range: Compassionate Louisville offers our efforts as a template to all our world’s cities and towns as a way that we may work as one team, raising compassionate future generations and citizens, who are aware of their own community’s needs and address these joyfully.

Insights from Our Children!

“I’m young, at least on my standards, and don’t take time to realize how careful everyone is to take care of me. Anyway, I know people have shown compassion towards me because I am where I am right now. And that’s enough.” 6

~Frances

“Compassion is rising above the Ordinary to achieve the Extraordinary.”

“Compassion is honor, togetherness, reaching out, and including each other.” ~Walker

“Kentucky is the place where everybody can be treated equally.” ~Daniela

“I think the mind set now is that when seeing somebody who is having trouble, most people will sympathize with them but many will then think it’s not my problem. A great man once related what’s the difference between compassion and sympathy by saying this, ‘True compassion is more than flinging a coin at a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs reconstructing.’” -Martin Luther King, Jr. ~Douglas

Teasing & Bullying!

Being excluded e In School and at home, on ing pp 8th grade class saw sto ed bullying as the greatest ne by for compassion, followed ping excluding others and gossi and ignoring shy pupils. 12

O ur s t u d e n t s play-acted being excluded and including one another and found it easy and fun to include those left out.

Being pushed away “Bullies are understood to be NOT cool, but kids needing Compassion because of their low self esteem.” ~Kyle

Come on...join in...we want you!

“I stand up for people I don’t even know.” ~Eleanor

“I can stand up for my friend when she is being bullied.” ~Eleanor “Help someone who is being bullied.” ~Ms. Gerwing’s Class 13

“You, come be My Friend!” Students at Foster Academy play-acting being excluded and then including. Another problem is with the group of children who stand by and watch bullying or exclusion. Some may pretend to go along because they want to “be cool” and others may be distressed but do nothing. Our school children are learning that what is really cool and feels great is to step up to the plate and correct any wrong that is going on. 14

Compassion is natural to all human beings and being unkind feels terrible. Have you noticed that in yourself ?

Even drama students at Walden Theatre School play-act Having Compassion.

Being Alone...

“Being empathetic opens us up to feel the pain and joy of others. We make ourselves vulnerable, and when we let down our guard, we can truly appreciate others. As people who are all hurting, at least sometime, we can use this intimate and human understanding to help make our community (and perhaps the world) a more loving place for everyone. Without any compassion, we’d all walk alone. Stuck solitary in our personal struggles, many may never know happiness or love, only painful alienation and crippling sadness. This is why we need compassion for everyone. Nobody should have to walk alone.” ~Jared

“Nobody should have to walk alone.” “Standing up for people who are being bullied, recycle, and including people when they look lonely.” ~Mrs. Murray’s Class 16

Have you ever been left out at lunch? Just say, “You can sit here.”

“It was lunchtime and I had no idea where I should sit, so I sat down with a group of girls who looked like they were nice . . . but it turned out they weren’t at all. I sat down and one girl said, ‘Raise your hand if you don’t like Caroline.’ All the girls shot their hands up, except for one girl, Izzy. All the girls turned their heads in her direction. One girl asked ‘What, you actually like her?’ Izzy said, ‘Well, yeah. I think she’s really nice. Come on Caroline; let’s go sit over there.’ We went and sat at a different table. That was probably the most compassionate thing anyone has done for me. That was the only reason I had doubts about moving schools; the bullying at that school continued and Izzy continued to stand up for me. I’ll never forget Izzy and what she did for me.” ~Caroline 17

“Sharing your knowledge is the best way to help each other.” ~Abdullah “Compassion is not just feeling sorry for someone, but doing something REAL about it.” ~Elisha

“Be kind by using nice words. Pass the ball to teammates or friends who don’t normally get the ball. Don’t laugh at people when they get an answer wrong . . . instead help them.” ~Mrs. Patrick’s Class “Share my pencils with someone.” ~Elliot

Children on the importance of Sharing...

Everyone can ask, “Are you ok?”

“If someone looks sad . . . say, ‘Are you ok?’” ~Libby

Help others if they fall...

Share your umbrella...

Pick up books if they fall... “Sharing an umbrella if it rains.” ~Mrs. Wolford’s Class

Picking up books... “Julia picked up my books one by one making it look effortless. She showed compassion because when she saw me struggling she did not leave and walk to class, but instead she paused and turned around to help me. It is important never to forget that you can make a difference to someone by just stopping and taking the time to listen or help.” ~Lilly 22

Open the door for someone...

“Having a sleep over with the new kids.” ~Aaron “Hang out with the lonely person or new kid.” ~Watt “Include a new kid in a game.” ~Cooper

Helping younger kids...

“We need to listen and not disrupt. We need to be compassionate to them.” ~Marcus “Be nice by not talking or distracting other people.” ~Nina

Other ways to show compassion... High Schools Make Videos on Compassion

The students of NOH deserve our heartfelt congratulations and applause! They have created a series of Youtube videos demonstrating how this group of dedicated and compassionate students are doing real work throughout our community! Among the many moving pieces which can be viewed on the website: YouthEngangingCompassion.org are films of these fine young people making cookies and delivering them to the Wayside Christian Mission Homeless shelter. Other footage challenges us to visit nursing homes, care for our abused animals and address the needs of women and children. These youth are inspiring role models and the music which accompanies their film work attracts the attention of their own generation . . . our future! 28

A Lower School makes Paper Chain Links of Acts of Compassion

As part of KCD’s participation in Louisville’s Compassionate City initiative, many teachers are finding creative ways to explore the idea of compassion here at school. Julie, a Counselor, has been working with lower school students to discuss ways in which we all can act more compassionately. Lower Schoolers have been noting acts of compassion on a strip of colored paper, which is then linked to other strips to form a chain. The chain serves as a visual reminder to act compassionately towards others. Later in the year, each class’ chain will be linked together during a lower school assembly. We will then find a place to hang it up for all to see.

Upper School Videos of Exclusion and Compassion Role-Plays

In 9th grade classes, students have been discussing the definition of Compassion and how they see it—or its absence—in their everyday lives. As those discussions led to insights, the students wanted to create scenes based on behavior they often see around them that causes suffering socially among their peers. And then they wanted to role-play. They shot video footage of the scenes as they played out, editing them for posting to our home web page and to be linked to YouthEngangingCompassion.org At another school, students make ‘Collage Cubes’ featuring their lives and including images of compassionate action. In power points and videos, they introduce themselves and explain how acting compassionately has affected their lives. 29

“I will make an effort to clean up after myself. My mom and dad always seem to get stressed when I don’t pick up my things, and if I do I will be relieving their suffering.” ~Amelia

“Compassion to me is to understand and appreciate what another person wants and talks about. My whole family is compassionate to me. Sometimes my brother and I don’t get along and we are not very compassionate.” ~Lina

~Sloane

“I will always speak to my family members in a ’t polite, nice manner. I won hurt their feelings.” ~Amelia “At home I can help set and clear the table even though it’s not my turn.” ~Emily

~Meghan 33

Children Volunteering

West End Stude nts regularly se rve food and do clean-up at a soup kitche n...

2012 Give-A-Day Efforts by our Elementary Students Many of the volunteer categoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;asking adults to address needs described in this checklistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have been met by our OWN Elementary school children this past year.

Community Clean-up

Second graders worked tirelessly in Operation Brightside and Earth Day. They have been helping clean public parks, neighborhoods and school grounds.

Appreciation Expressed for Our Military

Children have written letters of appreciation to returning veterans. They have reached out to the families of soldiers, the VA hospital and the Air National Guard. These young people have prepared gift baskets, care packages and post cards to demonstrate support. They have also created a campaign for writing appreciation letters to soldiers still over seas. 35

Volunteering at a Local Soup Kitchen

Students at Westend School regularly volunteer at The Lord’s Kitchen. They volunteer by serving food and doing clean-up. They are able to eat there as well.

“Helping out at the Soup Kitchen is compassionate because I give my time instead of playing basketball. Another thing that makes this compassionate is that I don’t ask for anything in return.” ~D.W.

“Going to the Lord’s Kitchen is compassionate because it fills the people’s hearts with so much joy. When they feel happy it makes me want to go there everyday and help out.” ~L.P. 37

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help stop bullying and donate to coat drives, shoe drives, food drives, or adopt-a-soldier.â&#x20AC;? ~Olivia

Using Art and Song to Encourage the Less Fortunate

Many of our school children make ENCOURAGEMENT CARDS which they deliver to the elderly whom they visit in old age homes, as well as to the Center for Women and Families. Some of the cards they have made bring joy to those cared for by the Little Sisters of The Poor, residents of Meadowview, Children at Kosair, and the Sacred Heart Home. These elementary students also sing to many of those they visit. Our children also participate in Meals On Wheels and make Spring door decorations for the elderly. The Indian Hill Elementary performed music in their program called HeARTS in nursing homes. They made posters for Kosair Hospital so that the recovery area waiting room would be more cheerful. An interchangeable art program provided sculpture to beautify a local library. Children sang at the grand opening of the Shively Food Pantry and helped with drives for food banks.

Aiding Tornado and Storm Victims

Our elementary school children have made relief recovery kits and done food drives to help the afflicted. They have collected for a variety of needs such as school supplies, clothing, books and all of the basic needs. School staff contributed gift cards to Kroger, Target and Wal-Mart. Members of Club Kenwood, besides working with The American Red Cross collecting donations for tornado victims, also wrote letters to these people to “uplift their spirits”.

“Making blankets for Volunteers of America.” ~Olivia 39

Caring for Our Animals

Elementary school children visited the shelter of the Humane Society to comfort displaced animals and have created awareness and outreach programs for these poor creatures. Stopher Elementary’s Club RAKaT (Random Acts of Kindness and Thoughtfulness) thought it would be a great idea if they handmade items to sell to the community after the performances of ANNIE. These items were dog toys and treats, key chains, bookmarks with Sophie’s paw print, origami pencil toppers, and bracelets with her initials. The proceeds were donated to the Humane Society to help them buy supplies for the recent tornado victims. At the same time, after the play performance nights, the Humane Society had several dogs on hand, to hopefully get people to adopt them.

“I do lemonade and hot chocolate stands, and the funds go to the Humane Society.” ~Layne

Supporting Charitable Efforts

In order to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma society, elementary children staged a Walk-a-Thon. Appreciating the work of the Shively Firefighters and Police, children wrote them letters of appreciation.

Children Helping Children

In this category we have this Kids Care for Kids Drive. Our elementary schoolers make cards for sick children and do toy drives. Besides this they have made a collection of children’s books and crayons for tornado victims. Others have been raising funds for the Crusade for Children through talent shows. Some children organized a drive to donate stuffed animals to Echo (Exploited Children’s Help Organization).

“Digging deeply for the forgiveness inside yourself is practicing compassion. While most people consider compassion to be best expressed in that day of volunteering or collecting canned goods, compassion is so much more than that. It is the sometimes difficult, everyday actions of kindness, and harder yet, forgiveness that you see people express to others. The accumulated mass of little kindness is what really matters.” ~Hannah
