You're Awesome To The Core!

School is almost back in session! This means there are tons of opportunities for back-to-school goodies and activities. We love delivering teacher appreciation kits to nearby schools.

Bring it to life: Include a basket of fresh fruit, an “Awesome to the Core” flyer, and your business card. Have a bigger budget? Include school supplies as well!

  1. Sprout Members: Log in and download your Back-to-School flyers and graphics! We have so many styles to choose from! (Just search: BTS)

*If you offer a PEP discount, make sure to let them know.

Back-to-School Charity Drive

Back-to-school season is also an opportunity to give back to those in need by getting your apartment community involved to make the back-to-school experience a great one. Happy kids = happy parents = happy residents! Host a school supply drive for residents in need, your local school, or a charity of choice.

DO IT NOW IN A FEW EASY STEPS:

  1. Sprout Members: Download our done-for-you invites or customize one.

  2. Bring it to life: Display a box in the leasing office to collect supplies and get the word out to your residents!

Alt version: Host a back-to-school swap party:

  • Provide the residents that attend with tote bags to hold the items they want to take home.

  • Have tables laid out where items can be displayed. 

  • Whatever items are left over, pack them up and donate them! 

    Everybody wins!

 

3. Social Media: Welcome to the Neighborhood
