We have done Open Houses several ways..I am assuming you are a private school? We have had them on Sunday afternoons and weekdays. We decided the school looked too "dead" on sundays. too quiet. But we did that because most of the private schools did it. This last year we did it on a school day. I think it worked better. We did not have spacewalks or anything like that. Never knew a school to do that but I can see it in some situations.

This year we are trying to raise enrolment to our school early by holding an open house in May. What do most people generaly do? Cookies, balloons and information about the school, right? Some parents were almost describing a carnival type of day? With Games and a jumping castle ect.
