JOSTENS RENAISSANCE®
Rooted in Love
During this difficult, confusing, and frightening time, Mike Smith, the host of The Harbor™ by Jostens, takes to the crate to acknowledge the challenges we are all facing during the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions. Mike issues a call to action for all of us, in this unprecedented time, to find ways to build community, take care of one another, and stay rooted in love.
Your Jostens family wishes you all peace, wellness, and safety in the days to come.
Due to the number of school closures throughout North America and Europe, we realize that the resources we offer exclusively to our partner schools to use in the classroom are not accessible during the social distancing precautions we are all taking to prevent further spread of COVID-19.
We understand the desire educators have for creating student access to resources pertinent to the situation we are facing due to COVID-19. As such, Jostens is making the following Renaissance resources available to the public while schools are under mandated closure.
- Courage – In this Harbor episode, we dissect the relationship between courage, helping others, and our own comfort.
- Patience – In this Harbor episode, special guest Aaron Davis teaches us patience is the ability to accept and tolerate delay without getting angry or upset.
- Positivity and Social Media – As we all rely on social media to help us pass the time, this Harbor episode provides insight on how we can use social media to a create positive impact.
- Self-Reflection – In this Harbor episode, we discuss the importance of self-reflection. Now, more than ever, we are afforded the time for quiet, contemplative self-reflection.
- Solutions>Problems – COVID-19 has given us many problems we could allow to overwhelm us. In this Harbor episode, we talk about the power in focusing on solutions instead of problems.
- Service – In this Harbor episode, host Mike Smith shares insights on how service can change your life and how important it is to find joy in the small moments.
- Fear – We are all afraid of something. In this time, we are all afraid of the same thing. We can let fear consume us, or we can use our fear to make positive changes in our own life and in the lives of others.
For over 120 years, Jostens has earned and honored strong relationships with our schools and the students and parents we serve. We thank you for allowing us to serve as your trusted partner.
STAY ROOTED IN LOVE.
Our thoughts are with our schools, students, and communities. We will get through this. Together.
The health and safety of our schools, teams and customers is the highest priority for Jostens. As communities mobilize to respond to COVID-19, we are ready to assist our schools, teams and customers with revised schedules and delivery dates when needed. Please reach out to your Jostens representative or to our plant consultants with questions or details regarding any expected or planned changes to your school or event calendar. We are committed to providing proactive, flexible solutions to accommodate your questions and needs.
