During their summer break, teachers at Warren Middle School in Forney, Texas, have taken on a heartwarming project aimed at uplifting middle school girls. Recognizing the challenges young women face during this critical stage of development, they dedicated their time to transform the school’s bathrooms into spaces filled with positivity. This initiative is particularly vital as middle school is a time when body image issues can emerge.
Transforming Spaces with Positive Messages
The school shared images on its Facebook page that quickly gained attention for their inspiring messages. Teachers volunteered to stencil encouraging phrases onto the bathroom stall doors, which they then filled in with vibrant colors. The finished product features uplifting affirmations such as:
- You are amazing, You are brave, You are strong
- Real girls aren’t perfect, perfect girls aren’t real
- Your mistakes don’t define you
- Work hard, dream big
- No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else
Other stalls display motivating quotes that resonate with the students and encourage them to embrace their individuality.
Inspiring Banners Above the Mirrors
In addition to the stall decorations, the teachers also hung inspiring banners above the mirrors, an area where adolescent girls often need a confidence boost. These messages include:
- You may not have Wonder Woman’s superpowers, but you can have a super-powered impact on the world
- Mirror, mirror, on the wall, there’s a leader in us all
A Movement Beyond Warren Middle School
This creative endeavor isn’t an isolated case; other schools have also embarked on similar projects. For example, a middle school in North Carolina employed a local artist to paint inspirational phrases in its girls’ restrooms last year, while a California mother was deeply moved when she saw affirmations in her daughter’s high school bathroom.
Warren Middle School is encouraging other institutions to start similar initiatives and recently held a Facebook Live session to assist teachers and administrators interested in implementing this project. The positive influence of such efforts can be profound, and it is hoped that more schools will follow suit.
