When sending your hometowners, you'll always want to include the student's email address in your spreadsheet. This will alert the person that you're sharing their accomplishment by sending them an email linking them to the story. You can also include more email addresses in your spreadsheet and encourage these additional people to share the story as well. Simply add additional columns to your spreadsheet with extra email addresses.

For example, you'll see columns for both the student's personal and school email addresses below, as well as their parents' emails:


These people will all be linked to the story when it goes out. Including extra email columns is a great way to keep students, parents and even professors or advisors in the loop. Just keep each address in a separate column.
