My Project

Help me create a more positive, kind, and growth mindset climate in our school. Urban high schools can be rough and ours is no exception. The streets are mean out there and we work really hard to create a kind, caring, positive climate in our school so that students feel safe and motivated to learn and work hard.

These positivity posters will be used all around our school and even be given to students to take home if they wish.

My hope is that they will help, even if just subliminally, create more kindness, caring, and positive thinking in our school.

I have included in the project enough posters for about 2 per classroom in our building in addition to some give to students to take home if they wish. Its a start!
