This full-page ad will appear in the 2018 Wilkinson
County School District
Yearbook. It was purchased by the Anne Moody History Project. |
When members of the Anne Moody History Project (AMHP) learned that Anne Moody would be honored in the 2018 Wilkinson County Schools yearbook, we decided to support the effort by purchasing a full-page ad in the same publication. At a cost of only $100, the ad is an inexpensive way to keep Moody's name before the public. If only a handful of students read her story, then the ad would be more than worth the investment.
As we reflected on the yearbook as a keepsake, it occurred to us that supporting the school district in this way is something we could do each year going forward. We also considered doing this in other school districts for as long as we can afford it. Who knows, perhaps at some point we could find sponsors to help fund the effort. And as the number of sponsors grows, more students in Mississippi and other states will have the opportunity to discover the life history of Moody.
It seems to us that the school yearbook just might become an effective tool for promoting Moody's legacy. As we plan for future publications, we hope to use direct response ads in the yearbooks to engage the students (and parents) by making special offers in each ad. A number of products are being created specifically for this purpose.
