Shawnee High School students recorded more than 1,700 acts of kindness as part of a regional school challenge. The initiative, created by a Lima resident, is now expanding as students challenge other districts to participate.

Students at Lima Central Catholic completed nearly 600 random acts of kindness in just two weeks as part of the “Doing A-OK Challenge.” The effort is now being passed on to Shawnee High School as organizers aim to expand the movement and reach one million acts of kindness.
