Homer 33C website, eNewsletter receive state awards
Homer School District 33C’s website and eNewsletter were recently recognized for their outstanding content and efforts to communicate with parents, students, faculty and community members.
The Illinois chapter of the National School Public Relations Association (INSPRA) presented Awards of Merit to the district’s communications/public relations department and technology team for their informative website and eNewsletter at an awards ceremony held Sept. 15 in Oak Brook.
The awards program is the only one in Illinois specifically honoring high quality school publications that promote the mission and message of a school district.
Entries are judged by a panel of communications professionals on such factors as writing style and clarity, how design supports the message and whether the communications tool is appropriate for its intended audience. This year’s judges came from NSPRA chapters in Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin.
Homer 33C submitted its website (www.homerschools.org) and quarterly eNewsletter, Homer 33C Connections, for consideration.
Judges praised the website for its clean, simple design and the eNewsletter for its content and use of photos.
“Love the celebrations,” one judge wrote about the eNewsletter. “Lots of good photos. Content is very appealing.
The district’s website earned high marks for its content and ease of navigation.
“This is clean, simple and well-thought out,” wrote a judge. “The homepage is inviting and easy to navigate. I was able to find important information in a click or two.”
The district’s award-winning website can be found at www.homerschools.org. Those interested in receiving a copy of the district’s quarterly newsletter via e-mail may contact Charla Brautigam at cbrautigam@homerschools.org.
