Kindness is shown through actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Kindness becomes real when it turns into actions. A smile for someone who feels alone, helping a friend without expecting anything in return, or simply listening to a person who needs support can change someone’s day. True kindness is not only about words, but about the small and sincere things we do for others every day.

“True kindness is measured by the good we turn into action.”

We turned kindness into real actions through simple gestures, timely help, and sincere involvement in the lives of those around us. We didn’t stop at words; we chose to create change through actions that truly made a difference.

We transformed kindness into real actions by sharing food, helping one another, and creating moments of joy together. This simple breakfast reminds us that small acts of care can bring people closer and make a big difference.

You both deserve a standing ovation today, and every day, for the endless love, patience, and guidance you've given me.

​To mom: thank you for being my anchor, my cheerleader, and the warmest heart I know!

​To dad: thank you for being my rock, my teacher, and the one who always makes me laugh!

​I am so incredibly happy to have the best of both worlds in you two. Thank you for making our home a place of so much love!

As part of our “We Care, We Share Kindness” activity, our students carried out an environmental responsibility task by collecting waste cooking oil at home and bringing it to school. We collected used cooking oil and delivered it to the Food and Beverage Services Department for recycling. The collected waste oil will later be taken by the municipality for proper recycling and disposal.

Through this activity, students learned that being a responsible citizen means not only caring for people, but also protecting nature and the environment. They became more aware of how small individual actions can contribute to a cleaner and healthier world.

This meaningful activity helped our students develop environmental awareness, responsibility, cooperation, and sustainable living habits while actively participating in a real-life citizenship practice.

My students created many different products using various waste materials, including decorative objects, paintings, robots, ships, etc.

For the students of Suphi Öner Primary School, which we designated as our "Sister School" in the 2025-2026 academic year, our Deputy Principal Yunus KARATAŞ, our Head of Maritime Studies Demir Can BİLİCİ, and our students completed the construction of a playground frame in the schoolyard. In this activity, which we carried out under the theme of "KINDNESS," our students learned this value firsthand as part of their Social Responsibility and Projects.

Every small act of kindness we show to nature creates a beautiful ripple effect. When we plant a small seed, care for a garden, or recycle our waste, we are sharing love and respect with the world around us. Active citizenship means protecting our environment and keeping it alive for future generations. Let’s nurture the earth with the same kindness we show to each other—because a greener planet begins with a caring heart. Be kind, stay kind, and let nature bloom!

This picture shows people working together to help their neighborhood. In the community garden, people of all ages are sharing kindness in different ways. Some volunteers are planting trees and picking vegetables with older neighbors, while others are cleaning up trash and collecting boxes of food for a local shelter. A sign that says "Grow Kindness" reminds everyone about the importance of helping out. By cooperating and caring for their environment, these citizens are making their community a much better place for everyone

​To spread kindness in my local community, I started leaving fresh water and food bowls for stray animals around my neighborhood. Especially on hot days, a small bowl of water means a lot to them. Empathy connects us all!🐾

The "Kindness in Action" project is a grassroots, volunteer-led mutual aid initiative designed to foster connection and positive social impact by turning a local neighborhood into a collaborative, supportive ecosystem. Operating out of a centralized "Kindness Hub," the project bypasses traditional, top-down charity in favor of a neighbor-helping-neighbor model where residents directly redistribute resources, such as fresh produce through a free food pantry and clothing through community drives. To make goodwill contagious, the initiative utilizes interactive "Kindness Boards" where community members can crowdsource ideas for daily good deeds, log acts of generosity, and share personal stories that build empathy across diverse groups. The project further strengthens community bonds through an intergenerational environmental initiative, pairing neighborhood youth and elders to plant trees and tend to a community garden, which teaches sustainable practices while bridging generational gaps. Ultimately, by mapping these local efforts and connecting them to a larger global vision, the project reminds residents that systemic change begins with small, localized actions, shifting the neighborhood culture from one of isolated individuals to a united community where everyone has something to contribute and everyone is cared for.

School is not only a place where individuals gain academic knowledge, but also an important environment where they learn how to become good people. In addition to their lessons, students acquire values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, and cooperation.

A good person treats others with respect, kindness, and understanding. They respect the rights of their classmates, listen to their teachers, and follow the rules. These behaviors help create a safer and more peaceful school environment.

The positive habits gained at school also influence an individual's future life. Students who support one another, show empathy, and take responsibility become valuable members of society. Therefore, schools play an important role in raising good people.

In conclusion, school contributes to the development of individuals both academically and morally. The foundations of being a good person are largely built at school, and these values guide individuals throughout their lives.

Hi everyone!

When we think of doing a good deed, we usually picture helping a friend, volunteering, or donating. But honestly? Taking care of the Earth is one of the most selfless and important acts of kindness you can ever do. It is a kind of goodness that doesn't just change one person's life, but literally saves the entire planet.
