RAOK: Finding good people in Tahoe’s schools

Recognizing the efforts of a cafeteria worker at her child’s school has earned Michelle Ramirez two tickets to ride the tram at Squaw Valley.

She is the latest winner of Lake Tahoe News’ Random Acts of Kindness. However, she wants Joy Santos, the worker, to receive the award. So it is Joy who will be off to Squaw with a friend.

Each day a Random Acts of Kindness story is posted with that day’s winner. Past stories may be found under the Random Acts of Kindness category at the top of the page.

To win, all you have to do is witness a Random Act of Kindness, be the recipient of kindness or be the giver. These acts can take most any form, from opening a door, to stacking firewood, to giving a ride to someone in need. What is your Random Act of Kindness?

It isn’t about winning, it’s about being kind. But local businesses have stepped up by being kind and rewarding your Random Acts of Kindness. To keep with the theme, winners are picked randomly.
