How schools and PTAs use this certificate

Use them for awards, course completions, volunteer thanks and milestones. A line on why the award was earned makes it mean more than a generic title, and a real signature makes it official. Worth including: your school name and colours.

Print one version for families and send the same design as a PDF in your newsletter. Print one test with the longest name on your list to check it fits.
