Budget Medal

When you look around these awards sites for something inexpensive to give to students, the pictures sometimes make you think you're getting those cheap, plastic things kids can trade in for arcade tickets. But I get it. It's hard to take a picture of something like a medal and make it look as solid and professional as it really might be. I purchased a lot of the $1.99 bronze "Lamp of Knowledge" medals for my honors English students from K2, and they really, really were beautiful. I was a little hesitant at first because $1.99 just screams CHEAP, but I'm a teacher with nearly 40 students, and the idea of going up one price point, including the engraving, was just not something I was financially prepared to do, so I took the risk, and it really did pay off. My daughter gets medals for synchronized swimming: the professional kinds of medals. The ones I ordered for my students were on par with those. So I was VERY happy with my purchase... and so were my students!
