WASH, READ AND GO

A MORNING MESSAGE
Sticking Stateside, we head to Lewiston, Maine, and this story of the town’s high school on Sun Journal about a unique initiative to promote positivity and a supportive environment for its students by leaving notes with uplifting messages on their lockers when they arrive in the mornings.
