Monday
Show your Builders Club pride—tell everyone you know about Builders Club by spreading the word about it. It’s easy! Wear Builders Club gear and your official member pin, host a party with free food for other students to come and learn more about your club, or print and pass out Builders Club stickers! You can event make a video, song, or posters about Builders Club beforehand to share on this day!
Tuesday
Kudos to the helpers—Personally thank all of the Builders Club supporters you know—teachers, principals, advisors, community leaders, Kiwanians, parents and others. Make thank you cards or crafts, write thank you notes, host an appreciation party, deliver a special song or performance, or do something uniquely your own style to recognize the contributions of these people.
Wednesday
Share with parents and families—Share your Builders Club and your passion for serving others with your biggest cheerleaders—your parents! Host a show-and-tell party to show off the club’s work, make a special presentation, invite local organizations your club has helped to speak on your club’s impact, or invite the sponsoring Kiwanis club to share the mission of Kiwanis and your club’s impact.
Thursday
Random acts of kindness—A smile goes a long way. Spread happiness throughout your school by doing little random acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for someone, putting change in a vending machine, doing a chore around the house, or leaving a nice note in a library book. Challenge every member to complete at least one random act of kindness.
Friday
Connect the Kiwanis family—Builders Club is the largest middle school service organization in the world and is the youngest club within the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by engaging with all local Kiwanis family clubs—K-Kids, Key Club, Circle K, Aktion Club and Kiwanis. Ask your sponsoring Kiwanis club to present on the Kiwanis family, host a service project and invite other Kiwanis family clubs to participate, or ask to present about your Builders Club’s work at a Kiwanis family club’s upcoming meeting.
