Thank you Unit CHairs
For diligently following the prep. instructions for your Council submissions
This was the easiest Council art collection ever! Not having to take the extra time to prepare the entries for judging at the Council level, enabled the Council to meet the earlier art collection deadline for the 4th District.
Unit Action Steps:
Acknowledge and celebrate all your school participants
Look at the previous celebrations, check in with your PTA, and Principal, see how you can exhibit and recognize all participants. Open House is a great event to exhibit and promote for the next year.
