For this month’s #GetKind theme, we chose to celebrate the educators, administrators, and school staffers that work so hard to build up future generations. Here are just a few of our favorite supporter Tweets from some of the people who are going above and beyond the call to kindness to make those educators and employees feel extra special throughout the month of May:

Some of our supporters put together crafty “thank-you” notes… and a few special treats for teacher too:
@RAEventsTeam I made these cite mason jar things for my teachers I should've snapped a pic before giving them out lol

Some got extra busy (and extra kind) by planning an entire week of kindness activities:

But even a simple message of love is enough. These supporters told us all about the incredible ways teachers have made a difference in their lives:
@RandomActsOrg I hated math until I took from a really great teacher. Now I'm a physics/astronomy major and loving it! #teacherschangelives

@RAAssistants @RandomActsOrg my current history teacher inspired me to be myself and not care what anyone thinks, no matter what it is

Some of our supporters told us they’d be visiting us down under at The Hub Productions’ All Hell Breaks Loose Supernatural convention, where we’d be collecting art and school supplies for two astounding organizations in order to help them further their goal of bringing creative outlets to students and youth:

Whether they knew it or not, one of our supporters honored their teachers this month by proving how they had inspired them to become a sincerely caring individual, and gathering their classmates to do some good for strangers halfway across the world:
@mishacollins @RandomActsOrg I'm organizing a pancake breakfast for Nepal with my leadership class and social justice club #SaveNepal

And it’s not just teachers who do great things: Random Acts Development Officer Jennifer, a college professor herself, understood just how important graduate students and PhD candidates are when it comes to mentoring other students (sometimes your peers can teach you things that your educators just can’t, right?). After reaching out to one DePaul University professor about his graduate teaching assistant Jessica, Random Acts found out that she was in dire need of a new laptop for her studies and work. We were able to reach out and thank her for all she does by popping in on the fantastic Robbie Thompson‘s panel at the DePaul Supernatural Academic Convention and presenting Jessica with a shiny new one:
@RandomActsOrg did an act for @thebigstilinski she is a wonderful grad student helping here at #SPNDePaul pic.twitter.com/LkoVGI0INA

… Because whether they’re teachers, administrators, custodians, substitutes, principals, counselors, professors, or teaching assistants, all educators and school staffers should know just how much they mean to us.
