THE LOOK OF RENAISSANCE
REINFORCE YOUR VALUES THROUGHOUT YOUR CAMPUS

Establishing the climate and culture you want in your school starts from the moment one walks through the front door. In Renaissance, we say that recognition should be visible, tangible and “walk-aroundable,” from the lobby to student hallways to classrooms. This prevents recognition from being stashed away where no one will see it and serves as a constant reinforcement of what’s important to your school. This Renaissance Kit will provide materials and ideas to help establish a culture where everyone feels like they belong. Be sure to share your efforts with your community online and show off your students’ sidewalk artistry by entering our social media sweepstakes!

Sidewalk Chalk (1 set)
Show students your school is a place of fun and celebration before they even enter the building! Use this chalk to write encouraging messages for all to see.

Compliment Post-it® Notes (10 pads)
Give your students words of encouragement as they start their day. Use these notes to make a statement about the connections being made in your school by having leadership students put messages on students’ lockers. Teachers can also use them to write supportive notes on student work, or administrators can use them to brighten a teacher’s day. Additional sets of pads are available at www.JostensRenaissance.com/store.
