Senior locker decorations are a tradition at Collins Hill High School and an opportunity for you to celebrate your senior’s achievements!

 Celebrate Your Senior!

This locker strip is a blank canvas. Some families include dozens of photos and decorative items while others create simpler designs, but all convey the same message of love and pride.

Decorating Ideas:

·         Strips can be painted using craft or spray paint.

·         Use a theme. Create a biography with photos and elements from different milestones. Or, focus on high school friendships, sports and achievements. It is up to you!

·         Use scrapbooking items found in craft stores to embellish your design.

Decorating Do’s

·         Have your locker strip completely decorated when you bring it to the school.

·         Plan how you will attach the strip to the metal locker door. Clear packing tape and magnet strips are the most effective.

·         Use appropriate language and visuals in your design, following Gwinnett County Schools guidelines.

·         Know the correct locker number. If you don’t know the number, check with a volunteer when you arrive to hang your decoration.

Decorating Don’ts

·         Put anything on the wall above the locker.

·         Use irreplaceable photos (consider having copies made on photo paper)

·          Use double sided or hot glue on the lockers.

Laminating

Laminating your completed locker strip helps to keep items in place, prevents tearing and helps preserve it. If you choose to have your strip laminated, here are a few suggestions to ensure the best results:

·         Limit layering as much as possible. The flatter the material, the better the lamination will bond and seal. You can use 3D decorations such as puffy letters, eagles and metal objects, just add them after lamination.

·         Use just enough glue to hold things in place. Glue needs to be thoroughly dry.

·         Laminate doesn’t stick to glitter or sequins. Limit the use of these items or add them after lamination.

·         Don’t use thermal paper, which can turn black under the 200 degree heat of the lamination process.

You can have your strip laminated at Office Depot, Staples. The UPS Store in the Kroger shopping center is offering to laminate and attach magnet strips to senior locker decorations for $4.50. Express Copy across the street from the Kroger shopping center is charging $4.50 and offering magnetic strips for $.25 each. 

• 2133 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road Suite 12, Suwanee, GA 30024

You can put small, inexpensive gifts in the locker 
(i.e. food, cards, etc.) 

Do not put in confetti, balloons or other items that will fall out when the locker is opened!

To make sure your finished strip fits the locker, decorate the white side with 

the embossed TF at the top.

Senior Week Locker Decorations

Senior Week has become a popular event at High Schools to celebrate their graduating students. Here is one that I made for my daughter, Mindy in 2003. The design was created on a template provided by the school and the locker company so the finished product fits exactly.The next one down is from my middle child, Hanna from 2008. The template was used but she wanted it created in parts to re-use, so it is made in 3 sections: Childhood, Sr pic and Sr year with College Choice. The last one in this post is from my son Kevin and he graduated 2011. He wanted something cram packed with details and that's what he got!

When making this ornament to honor your student be sure to include some details like:
*Student's Name
*Senior Portrait
*Baby Pictures
*Activities or Sports
*Favorites Colors
*Future Aspirations
*College Choice with Colors & Mascot
*Congratulations & Good Luck!

These are just a few examples of what could be incorporated. Think of it as a collage or a giant greeting card!


Utilize past yearbooks for ideas along with a scrapbook supplies! After the project is complete, take it to an office supply or school supply store and have it laminated. Call ahead to make sure the shop offers wide laminating on a roll. Some places only have it by the sheet and your decoration will not fit in that machine. Also, it may take a while for the processor to warm up, so let them know that you are coming.


At the school, just secure it to your locker with clear packing tape! Don't forget to leave some goodies in the locker too!

    Hope that helps! if you need anything else,
                           just  send me a note ....

Here are some Do's & Don'ts from Collins Hill High School:

Your Booster Club Locker Committee

2009 Varsity Lockers & Halls
Kevin Fife …………….142, Hall 3, main building
Jill Meastes…………...243, Hall 2, main building
Chris Clarson………....379, Main, downstairs
Coach Dykes………….Locker room office
Matt Davis…………….3208, 1000 building-upstairs, Hall B
Abby Owens….……….3986, 2000 building-upstairs, Hall F
Jessica Phill ………….2105, 3000 building-upstairs, Hall 14
Tyler Kallsome..……....2545, 3000 building-downstairs, Hall J
Kaitlin Forke………….2578, 2000 building-downstairs, Hall K
Kalie VanSullivan…….3045, 1000 building-downstairs, Hall J
Emily Orson…………(doesn’t have a Locker; bring to match)

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!

Target the Mascot

Aggression tword the opponent's mascot is the most fun way to get player's attention in a long endless hall of lockers. With the Mega High Schools these days. . .it is hard to make a statement, so go for the attack!
This duck is simple and really states the intention, but this could be used for any "foul" talisman. Don't hesitate to call this bird a Blue Jay, Eagle, Falcon, Hawk, Penguin, Parrot, Owl, Roadrunner, Rooster or Woodpecker! Instead of coloring it yellow and orange, use that school's colors! Plus, ---change the beak to fit that team's bird. You're ready to FLY!

Locker Spirit

Don't Forget to Personalize with a player's name!

Nose Art

Although wildly painted squadron insignia was common in World War I, true nose art did not occur until the Second World War. At the beginning of World War II, before the idea of painting an image on the skin of a plane arose, crews of the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) pasted pages from Esquire Magazine, Men Only, and Look magazine on the nose section, fuselage, and tail sections of the B-17 bombers known as Flying Fortresses. By the end of the war, there was such a demand for artists, who received up to $15.00 per aircraft, that nose art could be called an industry (Logan). The phenomenon peaked during the Second World War, but what were the reasons for this so-called "Golden Age" of nose art?
