Design a sign that says "Have a fun, safe Spring Break, March 21st-25th"
Edit in GIMP, have the words SPRING BREAK larger than the other words, to show emphasis and draw attention. Find a tropical photograph that illustrates a nice place to have a break away from the usual grind of school and busy life.
