Let’s celebrate National Samaritan Day which is on Saturday, March 13th by doing a good deed today (or another day)! The term “Good Samaritan” comes from the Parable of the Good Samaritan as told by Jesus in Luke 10. Your acts of kindness by being a good neighbor will help the world become a better place. The three rules for a happy helping experience include: observe, ask, and help. Observe the situation. Ask if you can help. Safely help the person.

You can:

• Do something for someone else
• Volunteer your time
• Help an elderly person
• If you see something violent or distressing alert the authorities
• Drop a note to someone
• Let the person in back of you go ahead of you when you are waiting in line

Homeschoolers: draw/color an illustration and write what you can do to be a good Samaritan
