I developed the parent newsletter for St. Ursula School(in Hampton) in 2001 and have managed to provide it continually in October, January and May each year since. I diligently pursue the various groups (athletics, PTG, teachers, scouts,etc) to submit pictures, updates and acknowledgement so that we project a well rounded unified experience at our school --all efforts outside of teachers are completely volunteer-powered. We won 1st place MARC(advertising agency) awards for our 2005 and 2007 efforts and have just finished our latest edition which documents our recovery from a plumbing leak on Dec. 22 which closed the actual building and moved our students into portable classrooms. I am mailing a copy to you--but I could just as easily refer you to our school news page for a color pdf version http://www.stursulaschool.org/200708%20WinterSchoolNews.htm. I feel strongly that it is essential to provide a printed copy for documentation and history. I have added little riddles and incentives to urge readers to complete reading the entire newsletter that has brought me great satisfaction. Because as you can imagine, many times a newsletter editor feels, "Is anybody reading this?" Thank you for sharing.Stephanienoreply@blogger.com
