RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS LOCAL - cup of kindness Grade 5 students at Meadows West School pose for a quick group photo Thursday to celebrate their group efforts to promote kindness to a local business that struggled due to the pandemic. CUP OF KINDNESS: A class of Grade 5 students was inspired by an article I wrote on downtown businesses struggling through the pandemic to do something to help them. So they raised $580 to dole out free coffee to customers of Thom Bargen this morning. I spoke with some of the students and their teacher yesterday. They hope their act of kindness will inspire others to do other kind things as well. JOYANNE April 7th, 2022
