People always want to know what I use in my own social media content creation! I'm lucky enough to have learned from countless school communicators over the years, and through trial-and-error, I've found these to be the best tools of the trade: socialschool4edu.com/resourcโ€ฆ

My all-time favorite type of speaking engagement is a hands-on workshop! I get to dig in and move the needle with my audience, collaborating on strategies and showing them the social media "how-to" specifics they're getting stuck on. DM me to discuss topics and dates! #SchoolPR

Attendance messaging doesnโ€™t have to focus on absences! ๐ŸŒŸ Show students what they GET when they come to school. This video from @KleinISD focuses on the experiences and everyday moments they get to be part of simply by showing up. #schoolpr #k12 #schools
Every day brings a new opportunity to build friendships, discover your talents, and be part of something bigger. When you show up, you get to learn, grow, join in, and make memories that last. Attendance matters. Are you in? ๐ŸŒŸ
