New "Positivity Walls" by the Lighthouse Team
The middle school Lighthouse Team has put up“Positivity Walls” to help spread positivity around the school. It's a new idea that the Lighthouse members came up. The displays are in the hallways of K-2, 3-5, and middle school. Students or teachers can grab a sticky note and write something positive about their day or something positive about someone else then put it on the wall. At the end of the month the Lighthouse Team members will take the sticky notes down and a couple of them will be shared at the Leader in Me Assembly. Then the system continues.
