Helping with more than a handful of our District events, Ad Trends Advertising, Inc. has made quite an impact in our learning community. This fall, the BSSD Cares program was launched to benefit families in the Blue Springs Community who have students in need of aid. The program was introduced at the business partners’ breakfast on September 24, 2010 and is heavily supported by Ad Trends. T-shirts designed specifically for the BSSD Cares program were given out to local businesses who attended. Ad Trends donated 150 shirts and will contribute $1.00 back into the BSSD Cares fund with any additional shirts that are purchased through the website www.adtrendsinc.com/bssd/. The last Friday of every month is District Day, when businesses are encouraged to wear these shirts to support our students.

Partner Highlight – Mark Cromwell

Mark Cromwell, President of Ad Trends Advertising, Inc., a local business in Blue Springs, MO, has been a partner with the Blue Springs School District for 10 years. When asked about his motivation, Mark states: “All my children attended Blue Springs schools. They received a superior education and participated in many of the programs their schools and the School District offered. Blue Springs is a wonderful place to raise a family and I believe the School District is a large part of it. I wanted to give back to the School District that gave my family so much.”
