This past December, students Livingston High School's Social Media Marketing class took their skills out of the classroom and into the community through an exciting partnership with local eatery, Tony Boy's.
Tasked with managing a Holiday Marketing Campaign, the students spent the month developing original content specifically for the Tony Boy's Instagram account. The results were a total success. By the end of December, the campaign had increased the Tony Boy's Instagram following by over 400 new followers!
To celebrate the campaign's success and show appreciation for their hard work, Tony Boy's invited the entire class to the restaurant for a celebratory lunch. It was a fantastic way to wrap up a semester of hands-on learning and see the tangible impact of local business collaboration.
Livingston Public Schools strives to respond to concerns and/or questions as quickly and effectively as possible. In a school system, as in any organization, the “chain of command” refers to communication levels of authority in the school district. The philosophy behind the chart in the link below is to refer community members to those people in the organization who can best solve any concerns or questions that may arise, and then direct them to the appropriate people if issues are not able to be effectively addressed at the first level.
