Elementary school teacher makes grade with encouraging post-it notes for student

• Pam Mohs, a fourth grade teacher at Lake Elmo Elementary, has been leaving positive Post-it notes in her student Finn Helwig’s locker to reward him when he has a good day. 
• Finn has struggled in the past with focusing and paying attention in class, but Mohs says the notes have helped him to stay motivated.
• Finn’s mother, Maggie Helwig, was so touched by Mohs’ gesture that she shared a photo of Finn’s locker on social media, where it quickly went viral.

“A lot of students don’t need that extra reinforcement. They are already kind of there. That’s why I’m doing this with Finn and it’s working,” Mohs told FOX 9.

“She’s my favorite teacher. She makes all these Post-It Notes and she makes school fun,” said Finn.

“He keeps those Post-It Notes. He loves those Post-It Notes and I think he looks forward to that every day,” said Mohs.
