From the Woonsocket Call in RI, this story about the Acts of Kindness club at Millville Elementary School. This popular campus club perform great deeds to help fellow families in need and the sick and ailing in the local hospital. They do it by taking up collections, saving aluminum can tabs, soup labels, cereal box tops and the like.

But my favorite bit is the Toilet Paper Tower fundraiser. All year long the kids collect donated toilet paper and stack them in a school corridor. When the Tower gets to a formidable size, a drawing takes place to see which lucky kid gets to hurl him or herself into the TP pile. A picture of the act is taken and displayed inside the school as a badge of honor for the winner. Now that’s how crazy Rhode Islanders can really be. You gotta love it. Oh, by the way, the TP gets donated to a local food pantry.
