STUDENT INVOLVEMENT:
Cast Your Vote for a Quote.

Student Involvement plays a key role in the learning process and academic achievement. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." Inviting your students to vote for their favorite banner quote allows them to get involve with their school and help shape their learning environment. The winning banners are then purchased and hung in a prominent place in the school for all to see. The goal is to get students to remember these inspiring quotes while acquainting them with the many famous historical figures that said them.

If you're interested in our "Vote for a Quote" program, simply print and distribute the ballot form. Collect and count the ballots after your students have voted. Announce the winning quotes by purchasing and displaying our durable, vinyl banners in your school.

If you have a favorite quote you would like us to add, simply fill out the form below and submit it. We are certain that your whole school will benefit from this student participation program. You can quote us on it!
