“We Rise by Lifting Others Mirror” – A Community-Building Initiative by the Student Council

To kick off 2025 on a positive note, the Student Council organized a heartwarming community-building activity for our Upper School students. Throughout the month of January, the "We Rise by Lifting Others" mirror was displayed in the hallway, inviting students to leave uplifting messages on Post-it notes in order to “reflect” their greatness within the school community.

The mirror is surrounded by colorful notes with personal affirmations and words of encouragement that students can add whenever they pass by. Some of our favorites include, “You are a ray of sunshine!” and “Don’t forget to fix your invisible crown!” Whether it’s a compliment, a note of support, or a kind reminder, each message serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of lifting each other up.

“We were looking for a way to focus on student health and wellness, and the Student Council truly took the lead,” said Dean of Students and Student Council Advisor Laura Rose. “This project was entirely student-driven, and we couldn’t be prouder of their initiative and the positive impact they’ve made on our community.”

 
This beautiful initiative helps students connect, spread kindness, and start the year with positivity. We rise by lifting others!
