For those of you in the United States, today marks Memorial Day—a time to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. It's one of those days that reminds us there are things bigger than our daily work, our enrollment challenges, and our marketing campaigns.
While I know our SchneiderB community spans the globe, there's something universal about the spirit of Memorial Day that transcends borders: the recognition that strong communities are built by people willing to serve something greater than themselves. Whether that's military service, community service, or the work we do daily in our schools, shaping young minds and building stronger communities through education.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, it felt right to pause and acknowledge those who served, and to reflect on our own roles in service to our school communities.
Thanks, and with appreciation,
Brendan

That's exactly why I created MarCom Society.
It's where hundreds of school marketing and communications professionals gather monthly for live expert sessions, practical training, and those "finally, someone gets it!" conversations you've been craving.
No more figuring it out alone. No more wondering if your approach is right.
Deepfake sexual abuse and sextortion are fast-emerging risks for schools, often taking the form of non-consensual intimate images created with AI tools. This session will introduce MarCom staff to how these incidents typically unfold, what schools are legally and ethically required to do, and how the risk is evolving. We’ll also explore the role communications teams can play in educating parents, shaping preventative messaging, and preparing for their part in a coordinated response plan.
