  Media:
The following link is a county-by-county media contacts (Excel File). If you would like us to review a press release please feel free to send it to us. Media outlets are more receptive to school organizations than they are to us as a company. Remember to spread it to all locations around you as some school don't host or can't host the Workshops so you could still draw those students.

  Hot Tips:

Remember the Workshops are not limited to students at your school. Spread the word through any business, church, homeschool, HOA, etc. As long as they come to the Workshops at your school you still get credit.

Get with other PTA's or PTO's from other area high schools and have them spread the word. A lot of schools can't host the Workshops due to parking lot size. So it is a great way for them to keep their students safe. We will also give them $10 a person for every student that comes from the school. All they have to do is send us their address and how they would like the check made out.

It is important to send out the flyer not only through your distribution list, but also having the school administration send out the flyer. As you are aware, not everyone joins the parent organizations. The school will have an even larger database of parents at the school.
