Creative, easy directions, best bulletin board book out there. An excellent resource for any club sponsor, office secretary , but especially new teachers. Clever slogans , helpful tips, fresh ideas.

What a great book! Filled with ideas to inspire originality or to copy. Great for school or classroom bulletin boards. Many "cool" ideas for Middle School age as well.

This is hands down the worst book I have ever added to my professional library. When I saw the title, "Bulletin Bored?" I thought that it was a "cure" for people sick of skeleton boards in October, hearts in February and flowers in March. I was wrong. It is centered around holidays and couldn't be used for any upper grades as the "K-12" suggests. For upper grades they have a section on "Social Issues" and suggest making a Suicide board with slogans like "You Don't Have To Be Alone". There are is also a suggestion for a board where you appear to be staring down the barrel of a gun. I'm sick of holiday themed bulletin boards, but if you like them, that's your prerogative. (If you're sick of them too, check out The Great Bulletin Unbored Book One and Two published by Tin Man Press.) If you choose to decorate based on the holidays, use a calendar for ideas, not this book. It does include patterns for heart people, but I think printing from the internet or clip art would be a lot less time consuming than copying, coloring, and cutting out these dated pictures. Save your money teachers! You don't make enough as it is.

This book was and has continued to be very useful for creating bulletin boards for classes. It has given many good ideas that help make the bulletin board more interesting and fun, especially for the students. Probably one of the best books I have bought for my teaching library thus far!
