Schuylkill County Rocks!!

There is a kindness movement happening in Schuylkill County.  Be sure to check out the Facebook Group HERE and join in! Gather up some rocks, paint, your kiddos (or have some quiet time by yourself!) and let your creative juices flow. It's a great project to work on with your little ones and teens, and it's even more fun to find places to put them!

"Schuylkill County Rocks used to be a statement, but now it’s a kindness act! What does Schuylkill County Rocks stand for?  We want people To know that they matter.  Everyone is wrapped up in technology now a days, it’s not as common as it used to be to just meet up with friends, meet new people and talk.  So we are trying to bring that back! What do we do?  We paint rocks of all shapes and sizes, and we hide them all over Schuylkill County at parks, stores, walking trails ect., to let people know that they matter.  Sometimes just a small gesture of a painting or a saying on a rock can brighten a person’s whole day or even week!  Add us on Facebook at Schuylkill County Rocks! And learn more about our act of kindness.  Lets get out, meet some new people and find some kindness rocks.  
And remember YOU ROCK!!"
