 Opinion rocks with inspirational messages on them can be found all over the country. Central Lakes College has a group of their own that's taking part in the kindness movement. Sarah Wonkaman explains. A little rock can go a long way. A bit of motivation throughout your day. Motivation and inspiration were the driving factors of getting the project up and running. Even though the group that created and distributed the rocks on campus is remaining anonymous, Kari has named them the CLC Kindness Crusaders. We care about our students and we care about each other and whether that's a student, whether that's a staff member, an employee, an administrator, somebody from our community who just happens to be on campus that's something that we want the message to be loud and clear. Rocks have been found all over campus in a variety of places and students are encouraged to use the hashtag CLC Kindness to take to social media about their findings. Got on campus my first day and I was walking through the halls and all of a sudden I seen this brightly painted red rock that says keep pushing or whatnot and it was just a nice little message to see those positive things are on campus. With each new day different rocks are discovered. Some people needed that little extra inspiration or motivation and so if they kind of needed that they were encouraged to pick up the rock and keep it with them a little while and then place it in a new spot in the school campus. After finding one of the Kindness Rocks on campus, Jacoby had a new mindset to tackle his day. Don't let school put you down, you know, rest up, stay focused, try your hardest. About 60 rocks were in place by the first day of class but any groups or individuals that want to join in the fun can create their own Kindness Rocks to encourage others. Of course we want the joy to trickle down out into our community and and I think the world could use a little more Kindness right now so as much as we can spread joy and happiness and bring smiles to people's faces that's our goal. New rocks could appear on campus or throughout the community at any time but until then do as the rocks say and just keep smiling. Reporting in Brainerd Sarah Winckelman, Lakeland News.
