SUMMARY:

Discover how to turn everyday interactions into powerful stories that build trust, transparency, and engagement within your school community.

Join Andrea Gribble and John Casper, Communications Coordinator at Winona Area Public Schools, as they explore the power of "positive gossip" in transforming school communication. Learn how to engage and empower your staff as strong storytelling partners and amplify your district's message to families, communities, and beyond.

In this session, John will share his journey of rebuilding trust after failed referendums, starting with simple yet effective tactics like:

Ask: Inspire staff to contribute stories and photos using systems like large sticker campaigns.
Show: Highlight shared content through a weekly staff newsletter with an 80-90% open rate.
Thank: Foster collaboration and pride with handwritten thank-you cards and recognition.

These strategies not only meet strategic communication goals but also inspire your employees to spread positive gossip - in hallways, break rooms, and beyond. Walk away with actionable steps and practical ideas to engage internal stakeholders, build transparency, and turn your district’s story into a powerful tool for trust and connection!
