Congratulation HUHS - WSPRA Spectrum Communications Awards
|
Hartford Union High School District was recently honored by the Wisconsin School Public Relations Association (WSPRA) with two Spectrum Awards of Excellence and Merit for its work in school communications.
WSPRA presented the Spectrum Awards at its recent annual conference in Elkhart Lake, Wis. Hartford Union High School District earned an Award of Excellence for the Ovations Community Newsletter and an Award of Merit for the Social Media Campaign #iLOVEHUHSbecause.
Spectrum Awards recognize high-quality public relations efforts produced by or on behalf of Wisconsin school districts. This year, this statewide competition honored 40 school districts with awards.
"Spectrum Award winners exemplify the very best communications work in school districts across the state," said WSPRA President Sarah Heck. "The winners demonstrate the value of engaging stakeholders in order to build community support for Wisconsin's public schools."
WSPRA's Spectrum Awards are judged by members of the Illinois School Public Relations Association (INSPRA) on a 30-point scale in six areas: goals and objectives, research and planning, execution and evaluation, results, language, and design.
The Ovations Newsletter is distributed to all of our taxpayers covering 20,400 and designed and coordinated by Jana Danay, the Communications Coordinator at HUHS. The Social Media Campaign concept was created by HUHS Junior Mackenzie Lutz (Erin School) in Ms. Danay's Introduction to Digital Communications last year. This campaign was used to promote our annual Showcase event and increased the social media presence by over 400% from 2016 to 2017. Congratulations to Jana Danay and Mackenzie Lutz!

instead, provides meaningful gifts that change lives in the community. Alternative gift fairs
present unique opportunities for shoppers to purchase gifts of hope, help, and service to the
less fortunate who are not likely to be on another's gift list. These alternative gifts are often
purchased in honor of special people on your gift list who may have expressed support for
particular social causes. This year's Alternative Gift Fair will feature gift-giving opportunities
among 16 local participating non-profit organizations. Gifts will range from $5 to $65.

COLLEGE APPLICATION TIP
Save the speech. Tell the tale. No need to stress out about the college application essay or be nervous if you think of it as a conversation or a story about yourself. You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
If you'd like help with your college essay, Mrs. Carter or Mr. Dobberstein are available in the Writing Center during 5th and 6th period. Mr. Schliewe is available during Resource on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Room 84. All three are English teachers.
