brandy's pay it forward
I helped my grandma out on December 20th by watching my little sisters. I watched my sisters when my grandma went out and we ran around the house, and watched Treehouse. I felt annoyed because when I was tired she kept on taping me and I felt kinda happy because it's fun playing with her. My grandma was happy because she had time to herself. I didn't ask her to pay it forward because I forgot.
Part 4
Acts of kindness is important because if people only think of themselves and there's a problem in the world people wont care about it and they wont do anything about it.

Nino's Pay It Forward
In my thoughts, paying it forward means doing a random act of kindness knowing that you are getting nothing in return. Doing a random act of kindness can be giving your place in line for someone in seems in a rush or opening the door for someone who seems to be loaded with bags. Doing a random act of kindness will let people recognize how to do the same thing to other people which will lead to paying it forward.
Part 2:
My pay it forward act of kindness were helping people shovel their yard, donating to The Salvation Army, and putting up flyers around Brooklands School. We chose these activities because it seems helpful and fun at the same time. We helped people to shovel their yard and helped people who are in need with the donation. We shoveled people's yard, donate to The Salvation Army, and put flyers around Brooklands School. We did out act of kindness in December 18th, 19, and the 20th.
Part 3:
It went pretty smooth but it wasn't all fully groups. Everyone did their job and stuff but in different times. I felt good inside, knowing that I did a good cause in this community. They reacted suprise to see people like us helping them clean their yard up. We didn't really ask to pay it forward since we were kind of nervous.
Part 4:
The idea of paying it forward is important because it lets people be nice to another and to do the same thing to other people which will lead to paying it forward. We think it did since it will tell people to helpout one another and be nice to eachother.

Trish's Pay it Forward
- Pay it Forward is an important project because it helps us to recognize how people besides ourselves needs help with their everyday lives too. NO matter how small your act of kindness is, just remember that for others it might be a HUGE act of kindness! I honestly think that our project didn't made a HUGE difference in Aunt Jill's lives, but maybe it somehow did because we helped her go to that work meeting and paid us nothing, but it was worth it because we PAID IT FORWARD!
So, Remember to PAY IT FORWARD TOO!

Diana's Pay it Forward
The idea of pay it forward was inspired by a boy named Trevor who was assigned an assignment from his social studies teacher to think of a way to change the world. He thought of the idea of helping three people and those three people help three more people, kind of like a chain reaction. it never stops as long as you pay the act of kindness forward. The more people you pay it forward to, the more people they it forward to and so on.
Part 2:
Tonie, Casey, and I decided to pay it forward and go door to door asking for donations to help us raise money to give to Christmas Cheerboard. Also, when someone gave us money, we gave them candycanes and a Christmas card that says; " Happy Holidays, your donation is greatly appreciated! Love, Sargent Park Students." Because we wanted to thank the people who he;ped us raise money. My group did this act of kindness on December 16th, 17th, and 19th 2010.
Part 3:
After we raised some money we went to the Christmas Cheerboard. When we told the Christmas Cheerboard. When we told the front desk that we had money for them they seemed shocked that three young girl would do that. When they brought us to Linda the lady that works the donation office, she was so happy that we would even think about doing this. She showed us around and how everything works. Just the way she made us feel when we gave her the money is unwriteable. Also we are going back after Christmas to help roll pennies.We also went superstore, Rona and wal-mart to raise money but sadly they wouldn't let us. Although it was really cold to go door to door it still felt good that we were going to help people.
Part 4:
This idea of paying it forward is important because just one person can make a difference!
Don't forget to pay it forward! :)

Justin Sunga's Pay it forward
Trevor, who is eleven year old child. He was given an assignment from his teacher in social studies Mr. simonet to make a difference and change the world. Trevor came up with the idea "pay it forward". Pay it forward is when Trevor helps three people, who then helps three more people and so on.

Tonie's Pay It Forward.
Caseys Pay It Forward.
Angel's Pay it Forward
"Pay it Forward" is a movie about a boy named Trevor, and he wants to help needy people or people who have problems. First, he helps 3 people, and those 3 people will each help 3 other people and it will go on and on like a chain. The point he's trying to reach is that if one person can help a lot, imagine what a group of people can do.
Part 2
My group Julibella, Marie, Diorella, and Marilen decided to donate toys to the children in the hospital and gave cards we made saying "You've been hit by a random act of kindness, please return the favour and pay it forward! " along with candy canes. On December 18, 2010, we decided to donate toys to the hospital just to brighten up the children's days because we all know it's not fun staying at the hospital, sick, for days. Also, we decided to give out candy canes just to perform an act of kindness and to encourage people to pay it forward.
Part 3
On Saturday, December 18th my dad drove my group and I to Health Science Centre to deliver our red Santa bag full of toys. We went to the information desk to ask where we can drop it off, but instead a nurse came and took it for us. The nurse looked happy, and was thankful. I felt very good inside although it would've been better if we got to see the kids excited and happy about the new toys.
Afterwards, we went to polo park to hand out our candy canes and the cards that went with them. But then something unexpected happened that made us change our direction. The security cards went up to us and said we couldn't hand them out inside the mall. We were disappointed and felt let down. So, we went outside to the parking lot and placed the cards under the wipers. We didn't get to say "pay it forward" face to face to people but we still had it written on cards. Although it didn't go exactly the way we planned.. we still were happy that we performed an act of kindness and hopefully inspired others to do the same.
Part 4
Paying it forward is important because it helps a lot of people whether they're less fortunate or just doesn't have the greatest life. Imagine what a bunch of people can do if it only takes one person to make a difference like Trevor in the movie.
I also hope that our cards and the toys will make a difference and encourage others to pay it forward. This project made me learn to think more about others and know how blessed we are. Who knows where just a simple act of kindness can end up.
PAY IT FORWARD! :D
KATHRYN'S PAY IT FORWARD
GROUP MATES: Bennette Cruz, Kathryn Nicanor, and Trish Alforte
KIDS: Alyanna, Alex, Alaine Baluyot
PART 1
For me, Pay It Forward is doing something helpful without anything given back. To Pay It Forward you have to help 3 people. Instead of those people returning kindness to you, they help 3 other people. Then the ones they help will again find 3 people to help.The chain will eventually get bigger and bigger. Once that happen, every person's life will get better.
PART2
For Pay It Forward act of kindness, Bennette, Trish and I chose to babysit my nieces while their mother, Joanne Jill goes to an important meeting last Tuesday, December 14. I always volunteer to watch over her daughters but this time, Trish and Bennette was with me and we had a lot of fun. We loved playing with the kids and spending time with each other.
PART3
Your act of kindness went very well. We babysat like we planned and help my cousin, Joanne to watch over her daughters.I felt really excited while we were babysitting even though it a little bit tiring. Joanne was rally grateful that we help her watch over her kids.After a while, I asked her to Pay It Forward, she said yes as a reply."I will donate my kid's gently used clothes"Joanne said.
PART4
Pay It Forward is important because it can change a person's life without even knowing it. By just starting at one person hundreds and thousands of people across the world will eventually encounter this.In addition, Pay It Forward is very easy to do. You don't have to have a lot of money to do this.However, you got to have a very big heart to Pay It Forward. Lastly, we might not made a big difference in my cousin's and my niece's' lives but the important thing is we helped them and we paid it forward
NEVER FORGET TO PAY IT FORWARD:)
Thessa's Pay it Forward
Pay it Forward started with a boy named Trevor. He thought that if he could help 3 other people, those 3 could help another 3 people, and so on instead of owing them. It's like a chain.
Part 2:
Our act of kindness started this weekend where we were helping out my mom and dad with Jackie. We decided to take care of her for a couple of hours. Also, we spread the word about Pay it Forward, so that others could pitch in too! We chose taking care of Jackie because I thought my parents should have a little quality time together, since they don't have much of that now a days.
Part 3:
Our act of kindness went pretty well. I honestly thought it was going to be hard taking care of her. But with more than two hands, we did a good job entertaining her, feeding her and even changing the surprise in her diapers. When I asked my mom if we could take care of Jackie she was very surprised and happy at the same time! Out of all the things we could've done, we decided to help her and my dad. She was very thankful :) When we were handing out cards, we did not ask people to pay it forward, but we did tell people what we're doing and hoped that they would join us too!
Part 4:
This idea is important because,
Just one person can make a difference in the world!
Karen's Pay it Forward
The "Pay it Forward" movie is about Trevor Mckinny a boy who planned to make difference for his social studies homework to three person then each of those three person have to do good to three other person and so on.His way of paying it forward then spread and when he passed away so many people came by because of his heroicness.
Part 2
Me,Thessa, and Windy did was we handed out cards to some people personally and some we put it on their windshields. We also took care of Jacqueline. We chose this activity because we thought it would be fun and to spread the word of paying it forward. Our group helped Thessa's parents so they could have quality time together and we did it our activity on the weekends.
Part 3
When we arrived at Polo Park we first went to the parking lot to put the cards that we wrote on their windshields. We then gave out cards personally.I were really nervous at the first person we went to give the card personally because we don't even know that person but still handed it out. I thank Kyia and Kyianna Giles for giving us the courage to talk to people.That person was shocked but then we explained what it is about and we told her to pay it forward and then she said that she would also think something good for her to pay it forward.
We gave Thessa's parents to spend quality time together and then took care of Jackie. We had fun even though Jackie was always "fake crying" to get what she wants. We fed her, cleaned her, and most importantly we entertain her so that she won't get bored or cry.
Part 4
The idea of "Pay it Forward" is important because we can do good things just to one person. It can make a difference just by doing small things at a time. Look at some famous person who did good they all started from scratch like just helping in the community.For example,Hetty Van Gurp.We don't have to loose our love ones but we can do something good even if you don't realize it like letting someone borrow your pencil,shoveling snow, and even taking care of your younger sibling.
Well I hope what we did made a difference and when we gave the card it felt good inside and I wish the owners of the cars read our cards and realize how they can make a difference just doing little things.
PAY IT FORWARD :D
Windy's Pay It Forward
'Pay it Forward' is a way of helping people without expecting anything back from them. This idea came from a movie called pay it forward, and a boy named Trevor was assigned to do an assignment and it was to think of something to change the world. Trevor's idea was to help three people and they will pay it forward to three other people.
Part 2:
My group Thessa, Karen and I paid it forward by taking care of Thessa's sister, Jacquelin Eva. This gave Thessa's parents a quality time to spend together. We choose to this activity because it would be good and fun. We took care of her for 3 hours, also we made cards and put them on peoples windshields and decided to hand some out personally. Though it was pretty cold outside. This event happened in December 18, 2010.
Diorella's Pay it Forward
Marilen's Pay it Forward
Pay it Forward was a project made by Trevor. His teacher told his whole class that they had to make a difference in the world some how. Trevor's idea was that he helped 3 people, then each of them help another 3 people, and so on, but expect nothing in return. This idea was spread across the world, and it affected everyone, thus, all you needed was one person, to make a difference in the whole world.
Part 2
My group ( Angel, Marie, Diorella, Julibella, and I ) chose to do 2 things. We decided buy toys for the kids and donate them to the Health Science Center Children's Hospital. Also, we made decorative cards that said ' You've just been hit with an act of kindness! I hope you'll return the favor and pay it forward! ' Also, there was a candy cane attatched on the back. We made the cards for people at polo park. We all chose to do this to ' Pay it Forward ' because we wanted to make children happy since they've been in the hospital for quite a while, and the cards was so people could be joyful that they've been hit with kindness. This whole event happened on December 18, 2010.
Part 3
Starting off to ' Pay it Forward ' my group & I decided to drop off toys to the Children's Hospital. We gave the bag of toys to a nurse that would deliver the toys to the children. We took a picture with the nurse, just to make it 'official'. I felt really happy because children ( who don't go outside as much ) get to play with toys to make them feel a little better. The nurse seemed very thankful because we decided to pay it forward by giving new toys, than doing something else. We didn't ask the nurse to ' Pay it Forward ' because we left a card in the bag of toys that said to ' Pay it Forward! '
Lastly, we went to polo park to deliver our cards for people. Diorella was dressed up as an elf and Marie was dressed up as Santa Clause .. just to make kids happy, and because they were in the spirit to, than just wearing normal clothes. Although, security told us that we were not allowed to hand out candy canes, unless we had permission from the authority. Even if we were sad, we didn't want to give up because we still wanted to complete our task to pay it forward. We ended up putting cards onto people's windshields out at the parking lot. We were cold outside, but we wanted to complete our task, so we continued until we didn't have any cards left.
Part 4
The idea of Paying it Forward is important because it can help a lot of people .. just starting from one person. Also, it is easy to accomplish, since one person can help 3 people, then each of them help another 3 people, and so on. Plus, this idea can have a great impact on many people because they realize that even if they think no one is there for them, there's always someone to care for them no matter what happens. Lastly, I hope my act of kindness made a difference because while my group & I were delivering toys and cards, I felt proud of myself since I made people happy by doing a simple task .. ' Paying it Forward. '
Cameron's Pay it Forward
The idea of Pay it Forward was inspired by a 11 year old boy named Trevor who was given an assignment from his SS teacher Mr. Simonet to think of a way to change the world. He thought of the idea of helping 3 people and those 3 people help 3 people, kind of like a chain reaction. It never stops as long as you pay the act of kindness forward. The more people you pay it forward to, the more people they pay it forward to and so on.
Part 2
For my act of kindness, me and my group (Cameron, Kaecee, Ryan, and Daniel) decided to donate used and new toys. We decided to donate toys because we have toys that we don't use anymore, and its almost Christmas so why not give it to the less fortunate. We donated the toys to "Helping Hands Resources for Immigrants" which gives the toys to immigrate families in Winnipeg. We donated the toys on December the 17Th at 12 O'clock PM. I also decided to donate more toys by myself. I did it for the same reasons as before and also because some people can't get the toys themselves. The toys were donated to "The Salvation Army" which gives the toys to less fortunate people in Winnipeg. I donated the toys on December the 18Th at 5 O'clock.
Part 3
Our act of kindness went great because we gathered all of our toys that we didn't need and donated all of them. When we donated the toys, I felt happy because I knew it would go to children that might not be able to afford toys. I think the children would have a good memory of someone helping them out. The Clerk was joyful and surprised that five teen boys were donating toys to their foundation for a good cause. We asked the clerk if she knew what Pay It Forward was, and she did. We also asked her if she would Pay It Forward and she said that she would, and that Helping Hands already does. She thought that it was a good idea that we wanted this to keep on going.
The other act of kindness that I did went well because the toys were donated. When I donated the toys to The Salvation Army I felt great because the toys would go to children that can not afford them. The man employed at The Salvation Army was surprised that a teenager was donating. I asked the man if he would pay it forward and he said he always does and he thought it was a good idea that we were trying to keep it going.
Part 4
The idea of Pay it Forward is important because it helps a lot of people, with the start of one person. Also, it isn't a hard concept to do because you're only helping 3 people, and the ones you helped do the same to 3 others. It makes people realize that one little thing can grow into one of the largest ideas in the world.
I do hope that my act of kindness made a difference because that would really make me feel amazing knowing I've helped someone.
Daniel's Pay It Forward
Trever an 11 year old boy thought of " Pay It Forward" . It was a project for school , it is where you help 3 people and except nothing in return. You just do it for because you want to. The 3 people that you helped , help 3 people each , it is like a chain . The people you help don't have to be people you know , they can be anyone needing help .
Part 2:
Part 3:
Kyle's Pay it Forward
Marie's Pay It Forward
Pay it forward is an idea that a young boy named Trevor thought of. It was a school project, where you help 3 people, but expect nothing in return. Instead, they help 3 other people, and so on. It's like a tree. If each person helped 3 other people, the number will increase.
Part 2:
My group (Diorella, Julibella, Angel, and Marilen) and I paid it forward by buying toys and donating them to the Children's hospital. Also, we're giving out candy canes, attached with a card that says, "You've been hit by a random act of kindness. Pay it forward!" to people at Polo Park. I chose this activity because we know how sad it is to stay at the hospital and not going out. The toys will give them happiness and joy. The whole event happened on December 18, 2010.
Part 3:
