Kids help peers (Cardboard boxes) change ways

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP -- Every day, members of the Be the Change Club at Hartland's Ore Creek Middle School check nearly 30 suggestion boxes placed throughout the school. The students are looking for unsigned notes about instances of bullying, teasing, gossiping, pushing or other mean behavior that students want help addressing.
Suburban Elk Grove's streets had the markings of Christmas: the elaborately placed lights, plastic Nativity scenes, inflatable Santas and trash bins too stuffed with torn gift wrap and boxes to close completely.
