How teachers use it

Main hallway and front office recognition walls
Classroom door displays and morning announcements
PBIS and character-trait award cycles
Grade-level or school-wide monthly shout-outs

Drop a photo into the circle in Word, type the student name and the reason, then print. Laminate once and use a dry-erase marker on a clear overlay if you want to reuse the same print each month, or reprint a fresh copy for each winner.

For the sharpest result, print it on a poster printer at 300 DPI. Our printers are Canva-ready, Wi-Fi capable and Title I / Title IV-A eligible, with setup under 30 minutes and 500+ templates included. Need the printer, ink and paper together? See our poster maker packages. In-house prints typically run about $1.30–$2.84 per poster once you have paper and ink on hand. Schools can also request free sample posters by mail.

See it on the wall

A 24×36 poster is big enough to read from across a room or down a hallway. Print a test at 12×18 first if you want to check spelling and colors before you print the full size.
