In this episode, you’ll hear from Lisa Streckert at St. Croix Lutheran Academy in Minnesota and learn her best tips for successful school storytelling on social media.
- Consistency Builds Engagement: Posting daily and encouraging simple interactions from parents and teachers can lead to strong, consistent engagement, even in a smaller school setting.
- Use a School-Owned iPhone: Having a dedicated phone for photos, content collection, and text submissions from staff has been a game-changer for organizing and separating work/personal life.
- Quick, Authentic Moments Win: Reels and posts featuring spontaneous, relatable moments—like the principal shoveling snow—often perform better than polished, time-consuming content.
- Divide and Conquer for Big Events: Tag-teaming large events like choir festivals with one person on photos and another on video helps capture more content with less stress and boosts sharing across schools.
