GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

What is the happy hoos movement?

 

Happy Hoos aspires to be more than just an online store. Through our expanding range of products, including notebooks, personalized journals, inspirational shirts, and positive affirmation stickers, we hope to create a ripple effect of joy and self-reflection— what we like to call the Happy Hoos Movement.

 

What is a happy hoo?

A Happy Hoo is an exuberant celebration from within – an expression of genuine delight. Whether it's cheering for a friend, taking pride in achieving a personal goal, or experiencing pure gratitude in life's precious moments — a resounding “hooo” is about celebrating both little wins and big victories. 

 

When these moments of joy come together, they become a powerful movement.

 

The Happy Hoos movement is a rallying cry to celebrate yourself and spread positivity. It's about giving ourselves a cheery Happy Hoo for every moment of pride, and inspiring others to do the same. Together, let's continue writing stories, building our dreams, and sharing our happiness with the world.

 

The Happy Hoos Movement has just begun, and we can't wait to see where it takes us.

Happy Hoos Movement Initiatives 

 

Spreading the Happy Hoos Movement involves a series of impactful initiatives aimed at fostering positivity, creativity, and self-expression in our community. Here are the four ways we will spread the movement:

 

Starting August 2026: 

  1. **Honoring and Supporting Teachers:**Happy Hoos will honor and support educators by selecting one deserving teacher each semester to receive free notebooks with retail value of $100. This gesture acknowledges the invaluable role teachers play in inspiring creativity and learning among students. By equipping teachers with quality notebooks, we empower them to facilitate engaging writing activities that promote self-expression and personal growth in the classroom. Please stay tuned in our Instagram page for the announcement.

 

Starting August 2026

  1. **Journal Prompt Contest for Writers:** Starting Annually, Happy Hoos will host a journal prompt contest for writers, offering notebooks and journals as prizes. This contest invites writers to explore thought-provoking prompts and share their unique perspectives through creative writing. By encouraging participants to engage in reflective writing and self-expression, we aim to inspire personal growth and foster a sense of community among writers.

 

Starting August 2026:

  1. **Donating 100 Notebooks to Schools:** Annually, Happy Hoos will donate 100 notebooks to a school in need.

We hope to increase the number of notebooks each school year as our business grow.  Please stay tuned in our Instagram page for the announcement. 

 

Year-Round Effort
