We’ve created templates in a variety of colors to create table tents that you can print and place around your school for Catholic Schools Week. The templates are editable, which means you can add quotes to the templates by using Adobe Acrobat, Canva, or print them out and write directly on them. You can even add your school branding or images.
Example
Why table tents?
The eye is drawn to novelty. If you place a colorful table tent with a strong quote at your school’s front desk, for example, visitors will read it because it’s eye-catching. And teachers who use them in the classroom, whether on bookshelves, work tables, or their desks, will find that students are drawn to them for their uniqueness.
And why is directing attention to these quotes a good thing?
Because meaningful quotes from Catholic leaders are another way for your school to celebrate the importance of Catholic education. If you’d like to collect table tents with quotes from stakeholders in your school community ahead of time, you can feature their words as well. We’ve even created a quick Google Form you can save, personalize, then send out via email or social media to make the quote collection process easy.
Here are the quotes we’ve collected for you to add to your table tent template if you’d like.
An education in the fullness of humanity should be the defining feature of the Catholic schools.
Pope Francis
The entire effort of the Catholic teacher is oriented toward an integral formation of each student.
William Cardinal Baum
An inclusive education finds a place for all and does not select in an elitist way the beneficiaries of its efforts.
Pope Francis
All knowledge is sterile which does not lead to action and end in charity.
Cardinal Desire Joseph Mercier
Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love; it is like giving life.
Pope Francis
