“SignUpGenius is amazing! I've used it for a few years, but this year we upgraded to (premium), and it has been a game changer for our school! Being able to have that summary page with all the school sign ups together and being able to have multiple admins is well worth the cost of the yearly membership. ... Each time I think of ideas for new features, I find that you are already way ahead of me. Thank you so much for all you do!”
