National Student-Athlete Day Custom Lapel Pins

National Student-Athlete Day is scheduled to take place April 6th, 2014.  According to the NCAA, the day is set aside to recognize “the accomplishments of student-athletes nationwide who excel in the classroom, on the playing fields and in their communities.”  The observance was created by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) and the Northeastern University Center for the study of Sport in Society.  It also exists because of a partnership from the NCAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Giant Steps for Student-Athletes

The NCAA got involved with the observance in 1994.  The Giant Steps awards have been awarded to NCAA student-athletes in the past.  Both Amber Burgess, a softball student-athlete at the University of Nebraska and former student at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and Dirceu Hurtado, a soccer student-athlete at Fairleigh-Dickinson University who recovered from a near-fatal aneurysm were awarded the Courageous Student-Athlete Giant Steps awards in 2001. Award Outstanding Students at Every Grade Level

The positive influence athletics have on students is apparent.  That’s why athletes can be celebrated any day of the year and at every grade level.  Your school can create its own recognition program for stellar student-athletes.  In fact, custom lapel pins can be handed out to signify achievement.  At high school level, student-athletes can wear a letter jacket with the pins they received for outstanding academics and athletics.

We can create the pins in different types of metal.  The die struck pins can be:

• High Polished Gold
• High Polished Nickel
• High Polished Copper
• Antique Gold
• Antique Nickel
• Antique Copper
• Black Nickel
• Black Metal

We can also add colored simulated gemstones to the pins.  This is another way to signify achievement.  Let us know that this is an option that you want included in your design.
