Suggested Grade Level: 6-12

Description:

Put this board up any time you want to motivate your students to excel. I use the board in the cafeteria where the students go every day. I put this board up while we are training for our district track meet to motivate the kids to do their best! The quotes are all about working hard to be successful which is a great message to give the kids any time of the year!!! We used quotes from people from a variety of sports. The pictures are examples of teams winning who prepared hard. The teams are local to our area.
