"It probably made everyone’s day," one student says. Adds another, "Everybody started talking about it."
The notes began to multiply and then migrate to different lockers. Eric Anderson was pleasantly surprised to see his locker covered with the inspirational message — a nice pick-me-up after his family’s home recently burned down.

No one has come forward to say they wrote the notes. And that’s OK, principal Dave Fabrizio says.

"It doesn’t matter where that message came from,” he tells CBS. "If each child looked at it in a different way and said ‘Boy somebody cares about me’ or ‘I’m going to have a better day because of it’ … the message is all you need.”
