This idea came to him when he noticed a classmate sitting alone during playtime. To help others feel welcome, Kellen created something special called Kellen’s Campaign (活动) for Belonging. He plans to make sure nobody feels left out at school. Kellen wanted to give something special to everyone at school to remind them they’re important. After talking with his parents and teachers, he decided on buttons (徽章). He told his classmates about the project. Since the school is big — with more than 400 students — they needed to find the best way to make it happen. Kellen and his classmates wrote some encouraging words like “You Belong Here!” on small round pieces of paper. By using a special machine, they turned these into buttons and sent them to each classroom. He hoped that the buttons would help students remember that they are part of the school. He also hoped they’d remind kids to ask others to join together in some activities. Kellen still sees people wearing the buttons on backpacks and clothes. He thinks they’ve made a difference. “I’ve noticed some of the kids talking to one another a bit more,” he says. “I’ve seen the kids seemed lonely before, but they’re starting to play with more people.” Today, Kellen is searching for new campaign ideas. “You should be kind to the people around you,” he says. “It feels great to help someone out.” ( )1.
