How to be a Good Person 101: Are you a Bucket Filler?

Students at Indian Hill get a life lesson in how to be a good person. Have you filled a bucket today?

The students at Indian Hill School learned an important lesson in being kind to other people. It’s based on the book “Have you Filled a Bucket Today?” by Carol McCloud. When you are nice, friendly and helpful to someone else, you are a  bucket filler.  f you are mean, say an unkind word or hurt someone, you are being bucket dipper.

Indian Hill has a mural in the hallway created by all of the students, expressing themselves as Bucket Fillers. They pass by it several times a day and it reminds them to be a bucket filler.

It’s great that the Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District consistently has some of the best test scores in the state and has great art and music programs - but teaching a child to be a good person is an invaluable life lesson that will stay with our kids for the rest of their lives.
