Boost school pride and raise funds with custom banners, yard signs, decals, and team spirit graphics. Learn how school and team spirit products can energize students, connect communities, and support PTA and athletic programs.
Why School and Team Spirit Matters: School spirit is more than just cheering at a pep rally or PTA event — it’s the heartbeat of a connected community. When students, staff, and families rally behind a shared identity, something powerful happens: engagement increases, belonging grows, and pride shines. From kindergarten through high school, students who feel connected to their school tend to:
- Show higher attendance and academic motivation
- Participate more actively in extracurricular activities
- Develop stronger emotional and social connections with peers and teachers
That’s why visible, vibrant school spirit graphics — like banners, lawn signs, decals, and posters — are such powerful tools. They don’t just decorate; they celebrate.
How Custom Graphics Bring Spirit to Life: Custom-printed school graphics transform everyday spaces into inspiring environments that celebrate achievements and encourage participation. Whether it’s a senior lawn sign, a locker decal, or a game-day banner, every design helps tell the story of your school’s pride. Here's some top ways schools use custom graphics:
- Student & Senior Lawn Signs: Perfect for graduations, moving up day, team highlights, and honor roll celebrations.
- Athlete & Team Banners: Recognize players, captains, or championship wins.
- Big Head Cutouts: Make pep rallies and sporting events unforgettable.
- Decals & Stickers: Add mascots or motivational slogans to halls, lockers, or windows. Even bumper stickers are still popular.
- Giant Letters or Yard Displays: Create bold photo ops that boost visibility on social media. Perfect for selfies!
When strategically placed around the school, these visuals act as daily reminders of unity, resilience, and teamwork. And when students see their names, photos, or mascots proudly displayed — they feel seen, supported, and inspired to represent their community.
Turning School Spirit Into Fundraising Success: Here’s where spirit products get even more exciting — they’re not just for decoration; they’re also powerful fundraising tools for PTAs, boosters, and athletic departments. Here are 3 easy ways to raise funds with custom printed graphics:
1) Sell Custom Yard Signs or Banners: Offer parents, families, and local businesses the opportunity to order personalized signs celebrating students, athletes, or school milestones.
✅ Pro tip: Set a price slightly above your printing cost and keep the profit for your team or club.
2) Create “Spirit Collections” or Bundles: Package items like yard signs, decals, and bumper stickers together for an easy fundraising kit. Great for spirit weeks or senior nights.
3) Host a “Photo Zone” Fundraiser: Set up large printed backdrops, mascot displays, or giant letters during events. Students pay a small donation for a photo with their team or class — and those social posts spread school pride even further!
💲Added Value: With F&F Factory by Fit and Fun Playscapes, your PTA, booster club, or athletic program can set up a custom ordering page so families can buy directly — making fundraising simple, transparent, and profitable.
