I knew that finding EPS foam signs would not be that hard. I had seen them advertised on the internet a few times. I just needed to find a company that would be willing to think about giving us a price break. Our school only had a small budget but we desperately needed to have a new sign put into place. I knew that paying for a new brick one was out of the question and there were lots of foam sculptures that I had seen that look almost better than brick.

I had a list of ten different companies that I had found, to contact about the EPS foam signs. I started with the company that was located closest to the school, in hopes that they might feel it would be good to give back to the community with giving us a big discount.  The person that could make that decision was on vacation, so I moved onto the next company.

I explained our situation and how we enjoyed seeing all of the other foam sculptures around town and came up with this idea. The woman on the other end of the phone told me that they would be happy to work with us and they could also meet our budgeted amount and give us exactly what we needed and wanted in a sign.
