Council recognizes Aspen Rowley as a Kindest Kid in America award recipient
Summary
The council recognized Aspen Rowley of Saratoga Springs as one of the first recipients of the Kindest Kid in America award and praised the student's example of kindness.
The Saratoga Springs City Council recognized Aspen Rowley as a recipient of the Kindest Kid in America award during the April 1 meeting. The award was founded by Jesse Hansen in September 2024 to honor children who make a difference at school and encourage kindness among students.
Council members noted Aspen’s recognition and displayed the booklet produced for the award. Councilman Wadman asked Aspen if she had "any words of wisdom" for the council; Aspen replied, "Kindness isn't about winning an award. It's about the feeling you get when you give kindness. It's contagious. Like, it's like a chain reaction machine. It happens to you. It happens to someone else." Council members praised her remarks and thanked her family for attending.
No formal action was required; the item was a ceremonial recognition.
