Shiny Bright Team

Christmas clearances are a great time to stock up on glitzy elements for your locker decorating. Many school colors include gold, silver or other holiday shiny colors. Keep the "team" in mind while scavenging sale racks!

A locker committee is one of the easiest to run using E-mail. Collect email addresses during your booster club meeting. The parent meeting is also a good time to have everyone sign up for other committees that need volunteers. Send an e-message to the locker committee members with a list of event dates and ask them to pick the day they want to decorate for. Also include a list of school colors with mascot of your opponents. After the kids turn in their locker numbers, send out a mapped list for your decorators to follow, as shown above. It makes the hanging go so much faster, especially if your school is extra large!

Google Up Inspiration!








Try Googling a word that describes what you want your opponents mascot to look like. Here... "dead cat" was input to characterize the Wild Cats. An image of a book called Dead Cats by Simon Bond came up! It will make a cute depiction on the decoration! To save an image from the Internet to your computer, just right click on the picture and follow "Save Picture As..." so it saves it to your photo file. Then you can edit the image in your photo program. Also, change the colors there to suit your team. Choose the print option that allows more than one design on a page. Finish off the design with personalizing, a Foil Award Seal and school color ribbon. Cut the ribbon 6 inches long and snip the ends on an angle. Fold the ribbon in half so both ends show and secure on the background with the seal sticker. Use a metalic marker to complete the look!

Idioms VS Cliches

An idiom is a phrase composed of words that do not literally indicate its meaning, like "put up with" meaning "tolerate". A cliche is phrase so over-used that it almost has no meaning, like "think outside the box". A euphemism is a way of substituting words to soften or otherwise alter the reality or perception of a certain condition. Examples would be saying that someone "expired" or "passed away" instead of having "died" or saying you're "between jobs" instead of just "unemployed".
Hope this gives you another idea of how to look things up on the internet so you can create unique locker decorations.
