‘Spread the Love’ Bumper Sticker Inspires Class
Story and Photos
by Carol Hogan
Sixth grade teacher, Kari Athena Woods knows there’s more than one way to teach an idea, and last December she presented an idea to her class at Marco Forster Middle School that has taken off beyond her wildest dreams.
“I remember seeing bumper stickers a couple of years ago that said ‘Stop the Hate’ and ‘Stop the Violence’, and it occurred to me that we need to take it up a notch now,” Woods said. “At this point in history with kids, with family members, what we need to do is spread the love. I think its something that’s not taught enough to kids and in school.”So she suggested the class distribute a bumper sticker that said “Spread the Love.” It would simply remind people to love each other. The students loved the idea. Woods paid for the bumper stickers to be printed then distributed several to each student, with one caveat: “Let’s see how far we can really spread the love.” Students were to give them to family and friends for Christmas. “My goal was to spread it across the nation,” Woods said. “Some of the kids mentioned they had family members in other countries, and they actually sent them around the world.”
During a recent class, students shared where the stickers went. One gave it to her mom, sister and sister’s boyfriend, and another sent one to a cousin and his wife in the war in Iraq. One went to a family in England, another to grandparents in Mexico, another to a cousin who’s been to jail twice. “I thought it was nice to give him one cause his life is kind of messed up,” the student said.
