Big banks of blue lockers, unused by students, This is my view. This has been my view for 7 years. And, the students can’t use them. This is a situation in need of a solution. I see them as a blank metal canvas.
My vision is that every locker at school is “Adopted” by a student. That student will submit a design. When the design is approved, s/he may paint their locker.
One of my amazing students, Audrey, came up to me and told me she is interested in working with the “Adopt a Locker” campaign. I love to see the kids’ excitement and enthusiasm. That is what brings a campaign to life. I have some crazy idea, according to a colleague, and the kids make it happen. I just guide them along the way. Together we figure out how to organize, launch, and manage the campaign.
Communities are built with each campaign. School culture is shifted to be more positive and hopeful. When we all want to be here at school and enjoy our surroundings, we will all achieve more!
This is the poster Audrey created to promote the campaign. We are having kids sign up this week. Next week we will meet to form teams. Off we go!!!
