we held a "private" skating party for just 5th graders and their parents. We provided t shirts and permanent markers to everyone to have them sign. We gave away door prizes and treated the kids as "middle schoolers" for the first time...it was fun.
we are doing a mini carnival ofcourse it is free where we make them cotton candy and set up a few carnival games to play it is our first year tring this so we will see how it goes
