Lila, a thoughtful girl with paint-stained fingers and a shy smile, sits on a swing, sketchbook in her lap. She watches the others play, her eyes alight with the ideas only she can see. Near the slide, a small group gathers, their laughter ringing out as they share stories.

Lila[/@ch_1] quietly begins to draw. Sunlight dapples her page, illuminating a picture of a fantastical playground filled with magical creatures and smiling children. A few classmates, curious, approach to watch her work.] Sam, a boy with quick hands and a mischievous grin, leans over her shoulder. "What are you drawing, Lila? Can I see?" "It's a place where everyone belongs," Lila replies, her voice barely above a whisper.

Sam[/@ch_2] brings more students to see Lila's drawing. The crowd grows, each child adding a suggestion—more swings, rainbow slides, a garden of wishes. Excitement sparkles in the air, transforming the group into a circle of eager collaborators.] Jasmine, known for her kindness, beams at Lila. "Let’s make this real! We can turn part of the playground into a kindness corner," she suggests, her eyes shining with hope.

"Let’s put a sharing box here for notes and drawings!" Sam exclaims, carefully placing the box beneath a low branch. "Everyone can leave something kind for someone else," Lila adds, her cheeks flushed with happiness.

"I never knew so many people cared," whispers Jasmine as she reads a note left just for her. "Kindness spreads when we share it," Lila replies, her eyes shining with pride.

"We did something amazing, together," Sam says, watching a new friend join the group. "Let’s keep making our playground a place for everyone," Lila agrees, her heart full of hope for every day to come.
