THIS. ❤️ On EVERY locker to greet every middle school student this morning. On every teacher’s desk. Each message unique and powerful. Each word empowering and necessary. Teachers and students smiled and felt valued.

My daughter immediately placed hers inside of her locker as a reminder, and the words given to her couldn’t have been better chosen. I held back the tears and my heart smiled so big.

Thank you for whomever took so much time to do this. The world needs more people like you. Be the light in someone else’s darkness. Everyone is fighting their own private battles and we need to lift each other up. This is only the beginning.

Fight darkness with light. Fight hate with love. Together we can all make a difference.

Please share to encourage other schools. Small steps will make an enormous difference. The time is now.

SEEKING LOCAL ARTISTS!
YOUR STORY MATTERS PROJECT

My name is Jen Cherry and I teach 7th Grade English. I am looking for local artists to assist with a long term project taking place in our classroom.

Every year, the month of November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Adults and children around the world participate in the feat of writing a novel in 30 days! In our classroom, students participate by setting personal word count goals and set out to “win” by beating those goals.

This is where I need the help of artists around the area. I would like to partner students with artists who will design novel covers based on student ideas. This would be a volunteer commitment and will take place during the months of December and January. I want students to not only feel connected to their novel, but also their community and the publishing process that authors must face. This gets their ideas out in the real world, but more importantly, it allows them to truly feel that they have accomplished their goals and written a novel.

If you are a local artist (or know one!) interested in supporting this project, please complete the form below. We can accept all types of artists and you will work with one student directly. If you have additional questions, my email is: [email protected]

Form: https://goo.gl/forms/l5v9bWS3wFhpTQn33
