Posted by Bannernprint on Aug 02, 2021
After a long year of online learning and barren campuses, it’s finally time to welcome students back with open arms. It may be overwhelming to think of transitioning your school from a ghost town to the bustling halls it once was, so here are a few tips to get your campus up and running!
Remember, get yourself ready before you try to get your school ready! You can read more on how to mentally prepare yourself for life after COVID here.
It’s easy to overlook outdated decor, signs, and banners from previous years. This is a great time to check your halls, cafeterias, and sports fields and see if you need anything replaced for the coming year. Make sure you order ahead to ensure plenty of time for delivery and placement.
School Pride
A great way to revamp the school and get your students excited about being back is to place banners promoting school pride. One idea is to have your school’s championships and sports achievements hanging in large common areas such as gyms and cafeterias, especially if your school continued involvement in sports during the past year. The students would be excited to come back and see how their school continued to make great achievements even during such a difficult time.
The same idea can be applied to academic achievements or special shoutouts that are also deserving of being recognized. This would not only instill school pride but also inspire educational excellence in your students!
Another way to spark school pride is to add a school banner to your walls, loud and proud! It would also be excellent decor, with placement ideas including the front entrance or outdoor wall.
Vinyl banners are an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor use. The durable, water resistant, and UV coated material will last for years to come, making it ideal for any of these ideas!
Adorn Sports Fields
To bring excitement back to your sports fields, consider adding (or updating) student athlete banners. This not only shows how proud you and your students are of their accomplishments but also motivates the athletes in the upcoming year, especially for rising senior student athletes. There are several great options for these banners, including vinyl banners, mesh banners, and blockout vinyl banners for streets and light poles.
If you have sponsors for your school, you could consider having their logo on your field to show appreciation for their support. It’s a great way to sell more sponsorship for your event, and will also give your sponsors a promotional opportunity in return for their contribution. We recommend vinyl and mesh banners for these as well!
