Wall with motivational post-it notes

At the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year the DAEP set out on a new initiative to help motivate success, foster positive growth and behaviors, and build self care amongst our staff and students. The theme was "This is Your Year To..." and it's been a great seeing our students and staff come up with their goals, resolutions, and motivators for the year.

Students and staff write on and place a post-it note on our initiative wall to set themselves up for self accountability. They walk by the wall every day and see their note as a reminder of what they need to in order to reach what they wrote.

When a student goes back to their campus, they have the choice to take their note or leave it on the wall for others. It's been a great success for the first semester and we can't wait to see what motivators, skills, and goals we see on the wall this second semester!
