And the sidewalk says… Laugh, learn and love! You are the reason we are here! Be happy, be bright, be you! You are loved! Looking forward to learning with you! You are important!

These are just a few of the positive messages teachers at Myers Elementary wrote on the sidewalks outside of the school with colored chalk prior to the arrival of students on the first day of the 2016-17 school year.

Check out a video a group of my Tech Club students produced to highlight this super cool activity.

When the school year begins with an act of kindness such as this one, how can it be anything but successful! Our elementary teachers rock! ♥

A high five to Aubree, Quintin and Tina for creating a pretty awesome video! ♥
