Here's what Tom and Jeff's advisers have to say about their service and Jostens products!
Mrs. Sheri Bentley--Wellsville Middle School
Seventh Grade Language Arts//Publications Adviser
Tom and Jeff,
I took my middle school crew to the workshop last Thursday in Topeka. I had the kids do an "In A Word" activity followed up with a focus free write about his/her experience when we returned to the classroom. They came up with: interesting, amaz-tastic, inspiring, grea-some, fun, and enlightening. They thought that you and Jeff make a great comedy team. . . . Thanks for taking the time to put on a workshop and making it so relevant to my yearbook crew.
Alisa Casady--Camdenton High School
I truly enjoy working with Jostens. I have attended Jostens Adviser University for the past two summers and am extremely pleased with their professional, friendly staff. Their enthusiasm is contagious and they make me want to live and breathe yearbook like they do! Anytime I need help with a technical issue involving YTO, I have been able to easily contact Brandy Schaefer at the yearbook plant in Topeka. She has saved me many times! My local Jostens representative, Tom Shields, visits our school every month to help the staff be the best it can be and re-energizes our staff with his unbridled enthusiasm. He relates to the kids extremely well and we all look forward to the days he visits. Tom has provided me with numerous resources as a new adviser and has made my job so much easier. From the staff in Minneapolis, to the plant workers in Topeka, to the local representatives, Jostens exceeds my expectations!
Cherie Witt-Yearbook Advisor--Southeast High School
It is my pleasure to recommend Jostens and my representative Tom Shields. As a yearbook advisor, I have had the opportunity to work with Tom for several years. He has impressed me by his willingness to work hard for our school in developing a fantastic yearbook year after year. As budget cuts are looming every year, Tom has been a positive light when dealing with the cost of producing a yearbook and has assisted our school in increasing our total sales to help with that cost.
Tom has an excellent personality that really aids in the positive relationship that he has built with our district. He is obviously very passionate about his job, which makes working with him a first-rate experience. I will continue to work with Tom and would recommend him to anyone working on a yearbook in the future.
