First of all, I'm assistant mrg. for the company.  I will give ya some advice.  Most stores will have fashion show before back to school.  Go and see the dept. mgr over ladies wear or the assistant mgr. over softlines for the fashion.  Tell them you are willing to decorate for free.  For back to school go see the dept mgr over stationary or the assistant mgr. over that area.  I would take some pictures or example of the apple with the worm or pencil, etc.  For the fashion show all you would need to do is couple of columns or arch way.  Something simple. Most dept mgr. only work Monday - Friday 7-4 or 6-3
Maybe this will help you get in the door. 
Good Luck,

Deena
