Make Your Bulletin Board a Source of Inspiration!

Last Updated on August 11, 2021 by Laura

Are you looking for an easy, fun, inspirational bulletin board?  A few years ago, I was trying to shake the “Back to School Blues,” looking for some FUN Bulletin Board Inspiration, and found a cute idea on Pinterest!  If you’ve been online searching for bulletin board ideas, you might have seen it too – a Be Yourself Bulletin Board.

Bulletin Board Inspiration

What an uplifting visual for both students and teachers – perfect for my library! If only I could have found one ready-to-print, I would have been so happy! But thanks to Jen from Hello Literacy and her cute fonts, I was able to create this and put it up today! I’m hoping I can help you out by offering it here for free!

Low-Prep and Quick!

Just print it out on colorful paper, cut around each word (use a paper-cutter or get fancy with your scissors if you want!) and put it up – voila!
