This story would be cool anytime, but especially this year with everything we’re going through and kids not having a lot to do when they’re not online doing school.
A FedEx driver in Indiana recently noticed an 11-year-old kid on one of the houses on his route playing basketball outside the house with an old, rusty basketball hoop that was broken and bent. So she decided to buy him a brand new hook and leave it for him the next time she went to the house as a surprise. When the boy’s mom found out what happened she was blown away and said he cried when he saw the new hoop.
Such a great story.

It’s that time of year, the only time of year, that you hear about Sugar Plums. From the Nutcracker to a new flavored drink at Dunkin’ this year. But what exactly is a Sugar Plum anyway?
As explained by The Atlantic:
The sugar plums English-speakers ate from the 17th to the 19th century contained mostly sugar and no plums. They were made by pouring liquid sugar over a seed (usually a cardamom or caraway seed) or almond, allowing it to harden, and repeating the process. This candy-making technique was called panning, and it created layers of hard sugar shells. The final product was roughly the size and shape of a plum, which is how it came to be associated with the real fruit.
So there’s not even plums involved at all! Who knew?! Just a delicious ball of candy sugar. How food and treats during the holidays should be. Yum.

This is such a great idea that you could even implement in your own house.
A high school in Texas has opened up a campus grocery store and students pay in good deeds. It’s all based on a point system where they kids can do things like help clean up around the school, good behavior tasks and other forms of positive reinforcement. Even various chores around the building can get them points to buy groceries in the “Good Deed Grocery Store”
Not only are the kids learning about helping out and doing their part, but everything from math skills to supply management and work ethic. Which will go a long way to helping them with their first jobs.
