Primrose Retirement Community surprises UT Tyler nursing students with 'Random Acts of Kindness' on Thursday.

TYLER, Texas — UT Tyler nursing students were surprised as a local group paid it forward Thursday.

Primrose Retirement Community residents and staff spent the day dispersing gift cards and other treats to the unsuspecting students as part of a "Random Acts of Kindness" imitative.

“With the challenges in the world today, we can all use some extra kindness these days, and kindness from a stranger is something guaranteed to make a person smile," said Varissee Brown, LEC, and Lisa Thomas, LEC-MC at Primrose. "Primrose has been participating in Random Acts of Kindness for the past six years, and this day is a favorite of our residents and staff. We hope that by sharing these small random acts of kindness, we can encourage others to pay it forward and to show kindness to strangers they come across.”
