Head O' Meadow student Lucia St. Lorenzo believes in random acts of kindness. We've previously told you about her gift to Newtown cops — a Thanksgiving dinner catered by the Inn at Newtown.
On Saturday, Lucia performed another random act of kindness for the holidays — she took a backpack full of green-and-white bears to the parking lot of Big Y / Dunkin Donuts on Queen Street, handing them out to strangers, passersby and anyone she saw. She was accompanied by her parents, to whom she credits her spirit — her father is the founder of Boot Camp Farms, a sustainable agriculture nonprofit.
Lucia got a lot of love on Newtown Patch's Facebook page for her actions:
- "Love that girl! Lucia, you rock!! xoxo"
