Does your school sign reflect the mood of the festive season? As Christmas approaches, a school’s social calendar fills up with numerous activities. There’s no better way to reinforce the connection with the community than using digital signage to share information and inspiration. Here are the best ways to turn school signs into festive communication tools.
Spreading Holiday Cheer
Turn your school sign into your greeting card. Messages such as “Happy Holidays!” or “Season’s Greetings,” coupled with the school’s name and decked with seasonal graphics, refresh your sign. It adds a splash of color and cheeriness to an otherwise mundane sign. Students, parents, and the community will appreciate how your school sign reflects the joyous mood of the season.
A Digital Advent Calendar
Create fun and excitement with an advent calendar to feature on your sign. These could be images that tell the story of Christmas through each day, a list of important school events that took place, school achievements accomplished in the year, acts of kindness encouraged for each day or acts of charity like food drives, toy drives, or holiday cards for nursing homes. The advent calendar could even feature seasonal jokes, riddles or inspirational quotes. It will be something new for students, parents, the community and passing motorists to look forward to daily.
A Countdown to School Events
Nothing will get everyone talking about your Christmas Concert or Nativity Play like a countdown on a big screen like the school sign. It builds anticipation and will hardly escape the minds of those frequently sighting it. A countdown can increase attendance, improve ticket sales and strengthen the school’s connection to the community. It is a convenient way to give your school event cost-effective local publicity.
A Public Message Board
Share information on holiday schedules, early dismissals, application deadlines and more. Messages on school signs are easily visible to parents. While emails and text messages can get ignored or dismissed, signage they encounter on their daily school run becomes an effective reminder. You can also announce school plays, concerts, fairs, fundraisers, holiday parties, gift drives and food bank collections. For those events open to the public, school sign messages are a perfect way to invite the community and make them feel welcome to participate.
Showcase of Inclusivity and Diversity
Your school sign can make those celebrating Hanukkah and Kwanzaa feel included with related greetings and messages. Diwali, celebrated by Hindus, falls between October and November. You can also include messages for Diwali celebrations. When displaying greetings, a message or series of messages about the significance of each holiday can educate students, parents and the community.
Public Service Announcements
A school sign can also display winter safety information. You can add safe driving instructions, parking tips, reminders to stay warm, flu season tips, and encourage acts of kindness. Promoting environmental awareness with reminders to reuse decorations, recycle wrapping paper & gift boxes and use less plastic can also boost your sustainability credentials.
PR for Volunteer Opportunities
Make space for local volunteer opportunities and charities on your school sign. These can motivate students, parents and the public to lend their time and assistance to worthy causes. It shows your support to the community and the locality while reflecting school values.
