Each basketball player and cheerleader was asked to give the name of one teacher that he/she loves and respects. The chosen teachers were invited to attend the event and presented with a certificate and a rose from the student who had chosen them. Some teachers were chosen by multiple students.
"Word of mouth is the best marketing tool," shared Elizabeth Oliver from EK Creative in today's FLEX marketing workshop. Mrs. Oliver walked our top ten businesses through the construction of a marketing plan and offered feedback on their logos. This information is being used to promote the new businesses and help them advance in the next round of FLEX competition. A huge thanks is extended to Mrs. Oliver for sharing her expertise with our students!
