We hold our Spring Fling (Auction, Sock Hop, Bingo, etc.) the week of BookFair. But that's major event to plan, and bookfair is just one more attraction that night.
The pajama party sounds fun.
I know you are talking about a NIGHT activity... But in the vein of other ideas, one of my friend's schools does a Donuts with Dad one morning in conjunction with Bookfair. They say it's always one of their best events because the Dads tend to spend more than the kids alone or the kids with their moms.
This year we want to open our book fair up to families on the last night of the sale. Aside from having a dinner with it(our school can't accommodate this & our high school is already booked)what other ideas have any of you tried that you feel really made a difference?
We were thinking of making it into a pajama party and serve hot chocolate & cookies with a parent reading stories while the parents shop. What else can we do? Ideas, suggestions, I need help!
