Where do you spend your leisure hours and professional hours? Spending time repeating the same experiences whether at work, leisure or as a volunteer tends creates expertise; insights only you understand from being in that world.
Our clients generally know that my background is a former WCPSS parent, art teacher and PTA leader. What did almost 20 years of investment in schools provide me? Insights into how to stretch a dollar while providing an engaging activity, raising awareness and accomplishing goals without breaking the bank.
Recently a school asked me for a strategy to engage and welcome new families to the school. The goal was to provide families with a welcome gift pack at orientation that would be relevant to both the student and the parent. What did we suggest?
A pencil or pen- offering some school spirit in an affordable, but practical way for new students.
A webcam cover with personality-keep your eyes on what's new at school by following the school website, PTA news and electronic updates from your teacher's classroom page .
A microfiber cleaning cloth- offering a full color surface for spirit, photos, maps or even a QR code to a video link outlining the key locations within the footprint of the school. This type of product will work for elementary through higher education. Take a look at a cleaning cloth showing just how close access to higher education can be in Wake County via the Wake Tech Community College system; a large footprint!
Additional idea for impact we've suggested included double side imprint lanyards, pouches for book bags, zipper clips for jacket, backpacks and purses. Double sided bookmark rulers with information on the second side. These Olive Chapel Elementary items were part of a Walk to School program grant- encouraging students to walk to their local school.
Education and engagement for spirit and programming can be fun and economical in expert hands! Follow our testimonial page for stories and review our photo gallery for successful campaigns.
