Maximize your brand visibility by participating in one on MAPSA's social media “story” projects. Through each series, we give schools the opportunity to showcase the authentic, special things happening in their buildings in real time, via our “stories,” focused on two important events in the school year: starting off the school year in the fall, and graduation in the spring. Our Instagram channel is 1,000+ followers and growing - and is a new, special platform to gain visibility with teachers, students and parents - in addition to the many MI charter accounts who are deeply engaged with our page. *Please note - even though “stories” typically disappear within 24 hours, we save these to a “Highlight” which remains on our profile for the duration of the project, ensuring views for 1-2 months.
