Splitcoast's Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday 247


Our teapotter cards this week are going to Evansville, MN to a teacher by the name of Barb.  In 1995, Barb, a grade school teacher, formed a club for her students called The Kindness Club.  Barb's students, over this period of time, have made and sent out 47,000 cards to people who are ill, in mourning, lonely or just struggling.  Barb teaches her students to be kind to others and to respect everyone.  Eighteen years and 316 students later, Linda is still instilling in her first grade students the traits of kindness and respect.  The motto of Barb's Kindness Club is to "Do unto others as  you would have them do unto you."  What an amazing lady and teacher - and we have made her an honorary Teapotter and are sending cards to her to thank her for all she does!
