Pay-it-Forward Starts With Some Cold Water

--by sydskies, posted Oct 24, 2010

Today was the first step in my project to 'Pay-it-forward. It is only a small gesture, but I hope it made some peoples' day.

Yesterday as I was driving home from school I saw the crossing guards and thought they would probably like some water on a warm day.

So today I went to school with a cooler filled with water and ice. I stoped after school with a friend and handed out cold water bottles to any crossing guard we saw. It was a thrill and made us both feel great.

Most crossing guards were very happy and thanked us, but there we a few who didn't acknowledge us :( Oh well, we told all of them despite a lack in intrest that we appreciate them and what they do in our community and for the children :)

What a great day.
