Chess flyers in the hands of the kids

I create chess flyers with Microsoft Word. I've been using the same file for years; I just change dates and make a few tweaks each season. This year I decided to make the permission form (the turn-in portion) separate from the rest of the chess flyer. When I'm finished updating a new flyer, I send a copy of the it electronically to the school corporation copy center. This year I made 250 copies, half for Madison and half for Washington. 

I use the color salmon for all chess handouts. It makes it easier for parents to locate the handouts when they come home. When I receive the flyers from the copy center I place them on a desk outside the music room for children to pick up. I put them there because I am the music teacher for the school and also because every child walks by the music room at least once a week and usually more. I put a sign above the flyers, too, so the children know what they are for. I also have the principal mention the chess flyers during morning announcements. 

The flyers are available to students for one month. After that, I keep them handy because children want to join chess after the club has already started. There are no deadlines for joining chess; kids can come at any time.
