This welcome package is in my opinion - PERFECTION! From the distinctive packaging, beautiful branding, interactive components via the fun socks and hashtag, and the brilliant student signature page — this is the gold standard of student welcome packages.

This is so creative and different! Swag is huge and this is a great way to start off a students' career. The accompanying message is as impactful as the giveaway.

Cute and clever slogan that ties into the swag. Exciting welcome for a newly admitted student!

A great comprehensive welcome for new families. Love the banner and photo opportunity to tie in with social media. The only reason I gave this a silver vs. a gold is that the materials inside the package felt a little overwhelming. Perhaps direct the family to a page on the website?

LOVE this. It is inviting, the pictures are cheerful and compelling, the text is inclusive. Throughout the guide, there is a bit too much information and may be overwhelming. I loved that the school fight song is at the end. A perfect way to end the packet.

This is a piece that will be an invaluable resource for new families and students. Extremely well-organized, great images and graphics and loved the Spirit page!

I loved everything about this bold and comprehensive piece for newly admitted students and families. The branding throughout (hashtag, pennant, stickers, notecard) are well-designed and the insert is simply but effectively designed and includes just the right amount of info (Top 10 tips, checklist, testimonials and welcome) on the perfect weight of paper. The heft of this insert makes it easy for the reader to return to the folder, but also makes it easy for the person who has to stuff the packets. Little things mean a lot in both design and function.

Very attractive and engaging package that makes a newly admitted student feel as if they are opening a gift. Just the right amount of materials, with a photo opportunity and tie-in to social media.
