Quote Wall

"We don't need Binschus!" - Johnny M

After hearing a student exclaim the above statement to another student, I started the quote wall. Hearing one student let another student know how they were capable of supporting one another, I decided to start collecting student quotes which showed support for one another, positive academic behavior, or a growth mindset.
