How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose a recipient who would welcome a note, or make cards for people in your own home.
- 2
Write one specific, kind message rather than a generic compliment.
- 3
Decorate the card with a friendly fall or Halloween image that does not cover the words.
- 4
Check spelling and make sure the message does not ask the recipient to respond.
- 5
Deliver the card in a respectful, adult-approved way or place it where the recipient will find it.

Pro Tip
Specific thank-yous feel more genuine and do not require expensive materials or a special occasion.
Safety First
Ask an adult before delivering cards, respect no-soliciting signs and personal boundaries, and never leave notes where private information is visible.
