The other day we received a wonderful package from a group of students at Horizon Elementary in Boise. The package was a collection of “thank you” cards from a class who had a field trip at Drake Cooper a few weeks ago.
Talk about creativity! Every card had a unique design and personalized message. Some even had pop-up elements on the inside of the cards while others had crazy folds and shapes. The package made our day.
To all the students, thank you for stopping by and spending time with us. It was a welcomed break… even though you thought I was “112 years old…” Let that be a lesson to you kids on what a career in advertising can do!
