🔥 HOT TIP: Don’t let your awards and accreditations live only as images on your website!

If an award, accreditation or recognition is only shown as a JPEG, PNG or logo, that information may not be easily found or understood by search engines and AI. Put it in writing, too! Consider an Awards & Accreditations page or work those accomplishments into your website copy.

🎯 ACTION ITEM: Check your website this week. If an award or accreditation only lives on your website as an image — and add it as text. (A special page for accreditations and/or use this language as descriptions to programing or on your page.)

Make it easy for families — AND search — to know what makes your school great!

Now THAT is hands-on learning! Way to go, Annunciation 8th graders. What an incredible finished product!

From the first pieces to a finished canoe!

Over the past few weeks, our 8th graders have been hard at work building a full-size canoe in partnership with the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence and Wilderness . Along the way, they put problem-solving, teamwork, patience, and plenty of hands-on learning into practice.

Now, the canoe is complete, and our students can step back and see what they accomplished together from start to finish.

Experiences like this are part of what makes an Annunciation education special. Our students are challenged to think, create, collaborate, and discover what they are capable of, preparing them for high school and beyond.

Looking for a school where your child can learn, grow, and explore their interests? Come see Annunciation for yourself. Schedule a tour and Join Our Joy!

Should your school jump on that trending Reel? Yes… sometimes!

Trends and trending audio can be a great way to show your school personality, have a little fun, and help more people see your content. But here’s the reminder: the trend should never become more important than the story you’re trying to tell.

Before you hit record, ask yourself:
👉 Can we make this trend feel like OUR school?
👉 Does it help us show our joy, community or mission?
👉 Will a prospective family learn or feel something about us?

If the answer is yes — have fun with it! We are tagging a few schools who've jumped on the trend in a fun way!
