TMS Positive Post-It Note DayPosted on: Friday, November 21, 2014Tabb Middle School (TMS) students have found a new way to brighten the day of every Tabb Middle student. This month, a group of students initiated an anonymous act of kindness called Positive Post-It Note Day! Students arrived to school to find that everyone received a handwritten note on his or her locker sharing messages such as "You Rock," "You're Awesome," or "You Matter to Us." There were a lot of smiles and lots of students kept their note in their locker to view each day!We are very proud of the students who organized this activity and proud of students' response to this surprise! TMS is sharing the message with students to always be kind to each other, and this proves to them of the power of kind words and deeds. |
