Meet the Young Author
At just six years old, Jayme is already making waves with her charming book titled *Good Manners, Good People*. Armed with the mission to teach children the vital importance of kindness, respect, and good manners, Jayme’s book serves as both a guide and a fun invitation to engage in acts of kindness each day. Kids and parents alike can lean on her work to spark conversations about being thoughtful and generous toward one another.

This fantastic initiative encourages children to spread positivity not just at school, but also at home and in their neighborhoods. It’s an open invitation for every child who wants to join in promoting kindness. Since its inception, many have jumped on board, creating a supportive network focused on uplifting their peers and fostering a sense of community.
A Day Filled with Joy

Creating a Culture of Kindness
More than just a one-off celebration, Jayme’s goal is to instill a lasting culture of kindness in Columbia. The hope is to embed the values of respect and generosity deep within the community, encouraging families, classrooms, and groups to utilize *Good Manners, Good People* as a resource for fostering meaningful discussions about kindness. It’s about creating a ripple effect of positive behavior that extends beyond February 18th.
Leading by Example
Jayme emphasizes the power of leading by example. She wants kids to understand that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. Whether it’s sharing a toy, helping a friend, or simply offering a compliment, she believes that every little bit counts. Her delightful approach promotes the message that “kindness is cool everywhere,” making it easy for children to relate to and implement these ideas in their daily lives.
