A celebration of the people in your school
At Rock Hill High School, TX, a wooden box sits on a prominent round table in the middle of the cafeteria. The purpose is to encourage students and Staffulty to not only notice the positive impact that people around them are making, but to recognize them on their Gratitude Wall.
The school stocks index-sized cards and pens next to the mailbox so that people can easily write a quick note and put it in the mailbox.
Each week, the principal reads the cards out loud as part of morning announcements. Once each month, new cards are stapled to a bulletin board in the hall for all to read. This easy activity of creating a Gratitude Wall makes a real difference in the culture and climate, not to mention relationships, in the school.
