IMPACT - January Focus and Challenge

These monthly newsletters represent just one of the many and varied components of the Herff Jones IMPACT program.  We hope that you will find Focus and Challenge to be informative and helpful for both you and your students. 

·  Focus is designed for Student Council advisers and/or Student Activities directors.

After the busy fall and holiday seasons, there aren’t as many exciting options looming on the calendar and it often seems as if the best of the year is behind you.  This month’s issue of Focus offers ideas to avoid letting members slip into a mid-year slump.

·  Challenge is designed for your student leaders.

With increased use of cell phones and smartphones, the old ways of reaching out to students through posters, announcements, and even emails are just not as effective. This issue of Challenge offers tips for engaging members through the medium they use most—their phone.

Many advisers choose to maintain a Focus and Challenge storage binder as a sure way to have these tools readily accessible to both teachers and students. We value your personal and professional commitment to your students and would appreciate your ideas and/or suggestions for future issues of Focus and Challenge. 

Herff Jones IMPACT offers many other exciting programs specifically designed to assist school personnel in their continuing efforts to support and motivate their students and faculty.  We would welcome the opportunity to introduce the newest components of IMPACT to you and your school!
