Last year, I took a quote from a blog post I wrote and made it into a poster. The quote was simple but a powerful reminder to anyone who walked into our room about the worth of the very kids that showed. A powerful reminder to me on days where I felt like I was not enough. A powerful reminder to kids when they felt that perhaps school was not a place for them. The poster I made was small but hung proudly outside of our room all year.
This year, I needed a bigger poster. Same message, but larger. Something that would be harder to miss. So my husband, who is my partner in everything, made me one. I shared it on Instagram and Twitter and now others would like to use it. So here you are

Feel free to use but please give credit. And then believe it, every day, every kid, even when it is a hard day. That would be the best gift of all.
Here is the link to the file, I just ordered a poster print through Walgreens. If you use it, let me know, I would love to see it out in the wild.
I love the quote on your welcome poster. Thanks for sharing. Have a great year!
What a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing.
I love this message! Thank you for sharing! What size poster print did you use? I’ve never used Walgreens printing before. Do you laminate it after or is it good to go? Thanks so much! 🙂
This is my first time using it as well, I do not plan on laminating it
Pernille, would it be okay to use the quote and create it within my own poster?
Sure
Wow I love how the words seem to say everything for themselves. Good job, spreading the Positivity!
Thanks so much! Picked up the poster from Walgreens this morning. I can’t wait for my students to see it.
good job. thank you so much for sharing. for this can quote at commercial press, any problem?
Absolutely not

It’s been a while visiting the blog, but I knew I would find something for back to school!
This poster will be great in my new special ed classroom. I absolutely mean it for each of these kids.
Thanks for sharing!
Can you show us the quote/poster from the previous year?
The quote was the same but on a smaller poster
I love this so much. It’s exactly how I want them to feel when they enter our room. Is there any chance your husband can recreate in Spanish as well?
If someone can give us the Spanish translation, he certainly can
I would LOVE to print this, however Walgreens AND Walmart photo are not letting me choose it =( =(
Can I find this somewhere else? The link says it was deleted.
I am unable to access this poster and would really love to have it in our school. Thank you for your help!
I love this!! I just saw it on Jarrett Lerner’s Facebook page and immediately tracked it down, printed it, and it is now hanging on my desk, ready for kids to come in Tuesday to start summer reading! (Alamogordo Public Library, NM)
