Susan Marquez “Kindness is a language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.” – MARK TWAIN – 8 • January 2019
Ashley Crandall of Madison is a very kind person. She treats people with respect and finds that life is generally better when people are kind towards one another. She values kindness so much, that she founded the Catching Kindness Project. Ashley believes in treating people as you want to be treated. With an associate’s degree from Holmes Community College and a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Mississippi College, she spends much of her time with children. In addition to being a full-time kindergarten teacher’s assistant at St. Anthony Catholic School in Madison, she teaches taekwondo to children. She is also the assistant sponsor of the dance team and assists with Sunday school at her church. She believes in the notion that kindness is free and she tries to be the best role model on kindness to all the children who look up to her. When she sees someone being kind to someone else, Ashley gives them a blue rubber bracelet to signify they’ve done a good thing. Kindness is something that Ashley believes in and works hard on promoting. “There would be no bullying if people would just be kind to one another,” she says, with a broad smile on her face. The project launched on July 1, 2018 and is led by a group of young women who want to see the world pursue kindness. The Catching Kindness Project has caught on locally, endorsed by schools as well as the City of Madison. Kids recognize the bright blue wrist bands and work to get more than one. Ashley founded the project with Louisiana native Evangeline Stephenson. Lacey Higgins is the co-founder, and new to their Catching Kindness team is Maci Matthews. All are involved with the Catching Kindness Project, each taking turns writing blog posts and posting on the project’s Facebook and Instagram pages. There are numerous ideas on how to be kind in the office, ways to share kindness during the holidays and ways for kids to show kindness at school. Now the Catching Kindness Program is going nationwide, thanks to their Kindness Ambassador Program. Those interested in Hometown madison • 9
