Good News – Local Student Builds Kindness
Joseph Duggan is a junior at Lincoln-Sudbury, and recently finished a project building “kindness libraries” at two local elementary schools. The project was supported by a grant from the Martin Richard Foundation which was founded in honor of the 8-year-old boy who died in the Boston Marathon Bombings. The “kindness libraries” are stocked with children’s books which can be borrowed for free. Duggan says that he wanted to build something that the community could use to share positive messages.
Boston has been waking up to the voice of Pebbles for years. She has always had a deep and strong commitment to the community, donating her time to numerous organizations such as the Girl Scouts, First Book Boston, and more. With a passion for youth literacy, she started the program “Pebbles Reading Rockstars” to encourage kids to read more and develop a love of books. A graduate of Northeastern University, the Wareham native continues to visit classrooms as part of the literacy program. Pebbles likes to write about books, personal stories, good news, and self-care.
