Leadership looks good on these students. At Cañon City Middle School, the Student Council is more than just a club—it's where tomorrow's leaders learn to organize, advocate, and serve their school community. And now, thanks to ImprintED, they'll do it in matching gear.

Twenty-three Student Council members will soon sport sleek black t-shirts featuring a custom falcon-inspired design that captures both school pride and the spirit of leadership. With CCMS's royal blue and gold colors woven into artwork that celebrates their Falcon mascot, these shirts are as bold as the students who'll wear them.

What made this project special was the collaborative design process. When advisor Lindsay Gardiner reached out looking for logo ideas, our Creative Director Erica Haferkamp developed multiple concepts—from a commanding Falcon Crest emblem to a dynamic Falcon in Flight design—and let the students vote on their favorite. After all, Student Council is all about democratic decision-making, so why should their shirt design be any different?

Student Council members take on responsibilities that most adults would find daunting: planning school events, representing their peers to administration, organizing fundraisers, and building school culture one initiative at a time. They deserve to be recognized for that work. A matching shirt might seem like a small thing, but it transforms a group of individuals into a visible, unified team—one that other students can look up to and aspire to join.

Ms. Gardiner and fellow advisor Ms. Goldenberg will also receive personalized shirts, because great student leaders are shaped by great mentors. We're proud to support educators who invest their time in developing the next generation of community leaders.
