SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Students at La Jolla Country Day School are taking action to support the fire victims in Los Angeles. Those from age 3 through the 12th grade, along with faculty and staff, are pitching in to help. The school's kindness crew is comprised of 36 third graders. Each month they decide on a way to spread kindness. After the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, they canceled their plan for the month and pivoted into action to help by creating hundreds of cards. “I think they need a heartwarming message," said third grader Benedict Peveich.

To prepare for the cardmaking event, they talked with other classes to spread the message and help them prepare. “Dear families, I'm so sorry if you lost your home, but I know things will get better. I'll let you know that the kindness crew is here for you," said third grader Arabella Adler, while reading her card aloud Thursday. “We all want to be helpers for the citizens of LA and we want to let them know that we’re here for them," Adler added. “Just think about it, if you were them how would yo u feel if somebody brought you cards that would make you feel nice when something bad is happening," Peveich said. “You just have to have that feeling in your gut and be kind.” “Our job is to really to help guide them into the realm of what is plausible, possible, what's impactful, but truly kids are wonderful at coming up with really creative ways to support other kids. Sometimes I think us adults should listen a little bit more and learn from them," said Michelle Hirschy, LJCDS director of wellness said. Along with the work the students are doing, the school is in contact with LA nonprofits and have sent more than 1,000 items, including gift cards, diapers, blankets and toys. Faculty and staff assembled 150 care packages for first responders. The upper school students also organized a bake sale to raise money. “We feel it's necessary for us to contribute in anyway that we can," said Samantha Rianhard, a ninth grader at the school. “It makes me think -- like how can I help and how can I contribute to people that are going through horrible things like that?”
