Educators, Teach Thyself

The other day, I noticed this line on the "welcome" sign outside the local elementary school:

ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR

OK, maybe they just ran out of apostrophes and they actually do realize it should be IT'S going to be a great year. But if that's the case, why put up the contraction at all? Is it really so "uncool" to just spell out IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR? Did someone see that how it looked and find it lame?

Or did they just not notice?

And which would be worse?
