Sealed with Encouragement: Notes to Brighten Test Day
In the days leading up to end-of-grade testing, our team found a meaningful way to lift our students’ spirits and encourage them before their tests. Each student received a heartfelt letter from me (their reading teacher) and a surprise note from a family member, sealed in an envelope with a motivational sticker and placed on their desk the morning of the big test. This simple gesture reminded them they are seen, supported, and believed in.
