Looking Back: SchoolMint’s Top 10 Posts of 2023

After this whirlwind of a year, you’re no doubt extremely ready to head into your winter break and connect with friends, family, pets, or even yourself (if some end-of-year “me time” and self-reflection are in order).

SchoolMint will also begin our annual winter break starting this Friday at noon and will return refreshed, recharged, and ready to serve you on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

While our sights are set on the new things coming in the new year — stay tuned for the first post of 2024 — we wanted to use Blog #82 of 2023 to reflect on what readers enjoyed most this year!

Take some time to read some of these articles that so many of your peers (and your competition) found useful. No doubt you’ll pick up something you can implement in 2024.
