ne act of kindness can go a long way, and
the Random Acts of Kindness (R.A.K.)
Club is working hard to ensure positivity
is spread throughout the halls of OLu
and around the community. Katherine Urrego and
Sydney Garcia, juniors, are Co-Presidents and
founders of the club.
“I wanted to do as much as I could to spread
kindness because I know how much negativity there
is in the world. I felt like other people might want to
join me and be on that same mission,” said Urrego.
Her and her friends turned that idea into a club that
now has about 40 members.
The R.A.K. Club meets on the first Tuesday of every
month and focuses on planning and accomplishing
service-based activities. “We do acts of kindness in
school and then we do some outside of school. That
allows students to get community service hours,”
said Garcia.

selling candy grams during Christmas time. During
Thanksgiving, they collected groceries to donate to
a church in Los Angeles. In the future, they plan to
get started on more service events outside of school
in order to reach out to the community around
them.
