Last night was a success! It was crazy and exhausting and harder than I expected but in the end we raised $570 (a huge amount of money by our standards) and the parents and kids seemed really happy. Most people mentioned seeing us again next month.
And next month our Parents’ Night Out month is on the 9th — Lunar New Year is observed by our district on the 16th and we figured a lot of people would be out of town for the four day weekend — so it’s only three weeks away. We exchanged ideas to make it better (and easier!) next time over group chat last night and will confirm those changes at our board meeting next week.
All in all I’m really glad we did it. In the future we’ll have more people helping (it was one board member’s birthday and another was at Legoland) so it shouldn’t feel so intense. We’ll also have a much better idea of what we’re doing and when so it will run more smoothly.
All in all I’m very pleased, and excited to continue these events. It’s definitely a great way to get the surrounding community to support the school, and to have a positive association with it. Double win!
Shared with family in SF with children. They and friends are all wanting to know which school and if there are age restrictions. Also where and who to call to sign up. Can you send me information to my email? To say this is a popular and amazing offer is to understate the reality.
Super happy it was a huge success. Hope YOU get some time off with your husband as well!!!!
Good for you!
Fantastic, be proud of yourself!
This is a great idea and glad to hear it went so well – way to go!!!
