The Wall started
out as a simple writing project in 2000. The goal of The Wall of Inspiration was to show the power and to encourage positive communication.
After one of our members, for no apparent reason started receiving hateful messages in the form of notes, emails, phone calls
from schoolmates. This unfortunate incident of bullying has been a great learning opportunity. After all, the right words can convey hope, faith, compassion, strength
and commitment. The right wordscan also revitalize an old idea and give new ones the wings to fly.
The project has inspired countless young people over the years to move forward in pursuit
of their dreams and goals, no matter what your disability or shortcomings are. The Wall, has involved a sense of pride, by
the young people that have worked on the project over the
years.
Every summer as a part of ourAnti Bully Campaignwe display The Wall of Inspiration and speaking to audiences of about the power of positive communication. Members of thePoetry Club
