Momma Said She's Proud

Description :

My unit created a refrigerator bulletin board for the girls to hang up their papers that received good grades, just like your mother did when she was proud of you when you were little. We made magnets that applied to our school, city and just cheezy, generic ones that have appeared on each of our refrigerators at one point or another.

Instructions:

We covered a mural on the wall with white bulletin board paper, took a black marker and outlined the frame of an old-timey refrigerator (rounded the edges, had a top-loading freezer and a handle on the top and bottom, you can even choose a brand logo to put at the top right hand corner of the freezer). Then we made magnets with construction paper and markers and placed them sporadically on the frig. We created magnets that applied to our school (a bulldog paw print to represent our mascot) and the city where we are (pacers, colts and indy racecars) as well as a "2NE is where the heart is". I suggest drugstore or church magnets as well, classics! You can really have some fun with it. I used tape to tape to hang the paper up and to place the magnets on the fridge. Construction paper to make the magnets and cut out letters to title it "Way to be 2NE". You can create a fun name that applies to your unit/hall. I then emailed the girls in the unit letting them know that they could place their good papers on the fridge so the whole hall could be proud of them.

Considerations : I think that I would consider placement. Put the refrigerator in a central location in the unit so that people can get to it easily, see it easily and are reminded that it is there. I would also start out with a couple papers on there so that people know what to do with it and how to use the magnets. I would think up a good way to hang the papers on the frig becuase since I didn't use a bulletin board there were no tacks to hang anything up with. It's something to consider.
