About:
Due to the efforts of Babylon Memorial Grade School’s Broadcasting Club, which included student athletes, students have been sharing uplifting messages of encouragement and compliments with their Pay It Forward Positive Post-it Wall campaign, which was initiated to maintain a high level of positive spirits throughout the school’s halls. When passing the colorful board located conveniently in the school’s hallway, students are encouraged to select an encouraging message as well as leave a note to brighten the day of someone else. While each of the messages are unique, they have all been uniform in theme – positivity and encouragement. Recent notes have featured such messages as, “If you can dream it you can do it” and “Smile, because you’re amazing.” Additionally, the club jumpstarted a sock drive to benefit the residents of the Bethany House. Since late April, students have donated dozens of pairs of socks to benefit those in need.
