Community rallies behind Caitlin Prater-Haacke after she's penalized for uplifting posts at school.

A southern Alberta city got a little brighter today after hundreds of neon Post-it notes with inspiring hand-written messages started popping up at homes, shops and offices in Airdrie. [...]. The movement was started by a local high school student trying to fight off a bully. Caitlin Prater-Haacke had been sent a message on Facebook telling her to kill herself. “I read the post and honestly I felt like throwing up,” said the teen's mother Nicole Haacke. “The words that were used, they're not words I use in my own house.” Instead of replying to the message, Prater-Haacke took out a marker and some small pads of paper. She decided to fight back by posting positive messages on every locker in her school. “Little simple messages like, ‘You're beautiful' [and] ‘You shine bright like a diamond,'” she said.
