Day 29! 🦉 Hoot’s Been Waiting?? 🐾🦉

Some pets have been waiting a little longer for their forever homes… and today, we can help change that.

Today’s mission: share a “long-stay” shelter pet on social media 📣🐶🐱

Your post could be the one that finds them the perfect match.

Let’s use our voices (and our feeds!) to help these sweet animals get the love they deserve. 💙

🦉✨ Day 30: Not the End—The Beginning ✨🦉

30 days. Countless acts of kindness. One incredible community.

For our final mission: give out high fives (or ‘wing-bumps' if you will) and smiles to as many people as you can today. And then, choose one act of kindness from this month that you’ll carry forward—and commit to it. 💙

Maybe it’s supporting local programs and businesses, checking in on others, or helping behind the scenes, but this isn’t the end of kindness—it’s the start of a habit.

Let’s make it part of Whoo we are! 🤜🤛 🦉🫶💙

Day 28! 🦉 Send a Little Owl-preciation ✨🦉

Behind every siren is someone who shows up when it matters most.

Today’s act of kindness: send a digital thank-you note to first responders, police, or fire stations 🚒🚓💛

Quick, simple, and meaningful—your message might be the highlight of their day.

Because appreciation? Always worth hooting about. 🦉💙

Day 27! Hoot’s Got Skills? You Do. 💼🦉

Today’s mission: spend one hour using a hobby or skill to help a non-profit 🤝💡Time to put those hidden (or not-so-hidden) talents to work for good!

Whether it’s designing a flyer, organizing a space, tutoring, crafting, or lending your tech skills—your time and talents can make a real impact.

Because here at Rice, we know it’s not just about what you can do… it’s about who you can help. 💙🤗

Day 26! 🦉 Hey, Owl Be Your Hype Team!! 🗣️

Got an event coming up in your community? A performance worth a standing ovation? Today’s act of kindness: share it!! 🎤🎟️

A quick post can shine a spotlight on local talent, small businesses, and community moments that deserve a full house. Share a social media post or forward an email, or just walk over and tell someone about an upcoming community event or local performance.🎭🎶 Your share might be the reason someone finds their new favorite band, artist, or weekend tradition.

Let’s keep our community connected, inspired, and showing up for one another—one post at a time. Because sometimes kindness is as simple as saying, “Hey… you’ve gotta check this out.” 💙🦉

Day 25! 🦉 A Little Kindness Goes a Feathered Way ✨

After yesterday’s planting party, our pollinator pals might be feeling a bit peckish. Yesterday we planted the buffet… so today we open the café.

Today’s mission: leave out food and water for birds and pollinators 🐦🌸💧

A simple dish of water or a sprinkle of seeds can turn your space into a five-star stop on the neighborhood nature trail. An Owl Fresco Dining Experience if you will.

Let’s keep our campus (and homes!) blooming, buzzing, and full of life—one small act of kindness at a time. You bring the snacks, they bring the ecosystem magic. Everyone wins. 🐝🐦💧

Day 24! 🦉 Today, we’re helping our flying friends (the ones smaller than us!). Whether it’s a pot of seeds, a new tree, or some bright flowers for the pollinators, let’s give the bees and butterflies something to hoot about. 🐝🌸

A little dirt never hurt an Owl! Plus, a beautiful garden is just ‘owl-trinsic’ to a happy community. What are you planting today? 🪴

For Day 23! 🦉 The wisest Owls know that even just a little bit of teamwork goes a long. We’re looking ahead and booking some time to give back. Sign up for a future local park cleanup or roadway beautification shift. Check out the Adopt-a-Spot or Litter Fence Roundup cleanups! It’s a great way to get some fresh air and keep our community soaring! 🌳✨

Don't wing it—plan your kindness! 📅💙

Day 22! And we’re having a hoot showing some love to the team! 🦉

HAPPY NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY!!

From surprise lattes to tidy breakrooms, today is all about letting our coworkers know they are owl-some. Keeping the nest tidy and the spirits high! 💙

Today is dedicated to our amazing coworkers, so we’re trading to-do lists for thank you notes. Being a Rice Owl means more than just hard work—it means having each other's backs! 🦉☕️ Need some ideas? Here are a few:
*The "Owl" Note: Leave a sticky note that says, "I think you're owl-some!"
*Coffee Run: "A little bird told me you needed caffeine."
*The Clean-Up: "Tidying the nest for my favorite flock."

04/21/2026

Day 21! Being kind is always a wise choice, but today it’s official and we’re feathered and focused on gratitude. 🦉

Grab a card and send a shout-out to a person or a community organization that makes a difference. Let’s show them that Rice Owls don't just stay in the hedges—we support the whole forest! 🌳💌

Whether it’s a non-profit or a neighbor who steps up, let’s make sure they know we see their owl-standing heart! ✍️💙
