This ASK is very common in my life. A close friend of mine works in the same area of the school as me, so once in a while, we write a note on a sticky note with a positive saying or cute drawing and leave it where the other will see it. Any time I see one, it instantly brightens my day. Last night, I decided this would be an ASK that I could try today. I looked online for a positive quote about friendship, wrote it on a sticky note, and when I came into work today I put it on her desk.
Considerations for Schools:
- Students may not have easy access to sticky notes during the school day, so make sure to have plenty available for their use.
- Make it clear that messages must be positive!
- Teachers should know this may be happening(particularly for school-wide ASK), otherwise they may think that students are passing notes or leaving messes.
- Students receiving these notes should keep them or throw them away, not leave them for teachers or custodians to clean up.
**This ASK was inspired by Caitlin Boyle's project and books, Operation Beautiful. I was fortunate enough to meet Caitlin a few years ago when she did an Operation Beautiful presentation at my school. The work she is doing is wonderful!
