You asked, and we’re delivering! Inspired by one of our very own Cape Kids of the Month, we now present to all Cape Kids an opportunity to exercise leadership at their schools by founding a club that promotes kindness. Make a positive impact on your school culture while having fun!
We introduce to you…the kidkind Club!
Using this letter template and suggested club meeting schedule, you (or your child) can easily propose a kidkind Club to your school…we’ve made it superHERO easy. Simply modify this template and bring it to a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal.
Please report back if you start a kidkind Club at your school so we can recognize you! If you need further assistance, email leighann@wearthecapekids.com.
Brothers who Love Sports, Family and Wearing The Cape
Shane and Dylan Kelly are our Cape Kids for the month of February and, boy oh boy, do these boys deserve it! These brothers are two exceptional young men, who wear the cape daily. They volunteer on many levels, often marrying their love of sports with their passion for doing good. It is a privilege to recognize them this month!
Shane Kelly
Shane, a freshman at Watchung Hills Regional High School in Warren, New Jersey is a talented, hard-working football player. Shane’s football coach calls him a “leader who will do anything he puts his mind to.” Dylan, a 7th grader at Warren Middle School in Warren, New Jersey, is a superstar on and off the field, too. His basketball coach says he has “a big heart and truly cares.”
Dylan Kelly
Shane played football for Watchung Hills Pop Warner for seven years and was often found helping his teammates and coaches, and assisting younger players. He is now giving back to the Pop Warner Program in a new role, as junior coach for the Pee Wee Team. Dylan volunteers for the Warren Youth Basketball Program, helping the 3rd and 4th grade girls team, where his sister Ainsley plays.
Shane is also a timekeeper for the Warren Youth Basketball Association, where he can be found helping younger children practice their shooting skills between quarters. His brother Dylan devotedly supports the Baskets for Bama fundraiser that was created by his basketball coach and family to raise money to help find a cure for brain cancer at Duke University.
What’s more, both young men have taught Vacation Bible School at Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in Basking Ridge, New Jersey for the past four years. They also help with the church’s Halloween Costume Drive, Coat Drive, and Ziti for the Needy initiative. Close to home for us, the Kelly brothers volunteer their time as helpers at kidkind foundation’s annual holiday party, where they greet guests with their warm smiles and kind hearts.
At home, both Shane and Dylan pitch in by preparing meals, creating recipes for all to enjoy. They are exceptional role models to their younger siblings Brayden, 10, and Ainsley, 8, as well as their friends. Their mom Rebecca Kelly shared, “They are kind, loving boys, who enjoy spending time with their family and friends.” Shane and Dylan, we thank you for being such tremendous examples of everyday heroes. We are so proud of you for being BETTER THAN THAT™ and for remembering to always WEAR THE CAPE. Keep up the good work!
Today we had the privilege of bringing our Hero Assembly to the students at Laning Elementary School, in Verona, New Jersey. From the moment we arrived, we could tell that Laning Elementary was filled with heroes. We were greeted with great big smiles and lots of cheers. It was a wonderful day!
The students, teachers, and staff members all participated in our program. They encouraged one another during our role plays, and supported one another throughout our energetic show.
We were incredibly impressed with the answers students offered to the question, “How is it cool to be kind?” As Kevin, a first grader, stated, “You are kind when you stop and ask yourself how you can help!” Thank you Kevin! You clearly are a hero!
Teachers, students, and staff, complimented our assembly, stating that it was “relevant,” “enthusiastic,” and “hit home” with their students. They shared that our videos were relatable and engaging. One noted that all students were receptive to our strategies and were already using BETTER THAN THAT(tm) as we were leaving.
