📄 SHC rocking it at our exhibit booth!
We had a blast connecting with everyone (new & seasoned) at our exhibit table. Here’s what one participant said: “It’s so nice to see you all in person instead of a screen. YOU ARE REAL! I relied so much on SchoolHouse Connection when I first started out as a liaison. Thank you for all you do!”
No need to worry if you missed our exhibit booth! We covered details about our scholarship program and various SHC resources at our exhibit table. All the materials can be found neatly organized in this folder.
