📖 Story time!
My dad was always volunteering in some capacity or was busy being the PTA president for most of my elementary school years from what I could remember.
I remember him designing some shirts, going to the meetings with him, and seeing him walk around the campus during school hours. A lot of people knew him, and I felt like the coolest kid ever! 😂
It wasn’t until later that I realized the impact he had on my education, school, and volunteers in general. We went through a lot personally, but he still showed up for me and students.
Well, when we started this business, we made these shirt samples (prints pictured), and delivered them to schools around us. I wanted to serve the peeps who make experiences for their kids and the school. I remember what it was like seeing the behind the scenes, and with our business, I wanted to help the volunteers and faculty create those memories while making it as easy and fun as possible!
In the beginning, we didn’t hear back from most, BUT for good reasons. They were already working with trusted companies already! 😀 There’s enough work to go around for everyone, and I was encouraged. It showed me that they had roots in these communities, and I can deeply appreciate that and be inspired.
⏩ Fast forward two years later (today), we’ve worked with OVER 15 SCHOOLS in some capacity spanning over 5 cities and districts. Some have come and gone, and some have stayed with us thus far, and we’ve loved every experience. I’m always looking for ways to improve and build trust so we may bring ease and pizazz to others in charge of swag.
Looking back at those prints from two years ago is humbling. We were wondering if anyone was going to give a chance. Somehow, one school said yes, and the rest is history being (re)written.
I would’ve never imagined that seeing my dad and volunteers serving my schools would’ve inspired me later to serve and leave an impact on schools as well. We know it’s only a shirt, but it can be valuable memory if that’s the only thing someone may have left from their childhood.
