The students in my classroom face adversity every day, yet they wake up and walk through these doors preparing to learn. Some of them have never heard that they are "amazing" and that they "Can Do This" from anyone in their life. I want to provide an environment of encouragement and motivation. As they succeed in their computer classes, I want to make sure to send home the encouragement that makes them come back the next day and the day after that. The notecards and letters of encouragement will continue to remind them how TRULY AMAZING they are every day. The posters will help my students to dispel any doubt of their ability to do this and to get their diplomas. My students have some rough days and restless nights and sometimes it is just the little spark of light that helps them push through it. Thank you for helping me to reach out to them and let them know how important they are to us.
