Hi, We had thought about having movie nights before, but the principle explained that we had to get the permission from each company. Thank you for the site skoolmom. I went to it and called them. They were very nice. They are sending me a packet with all of the details, no obligation type thing, and will do a follow up with me after our Sept. board meeting to see if we're interested. The cost for our school with approx 540 students would be $375.00 for the year. They will allow us to charge an admission fee for the first year to help cover the cost of the license, after that they said we could charge for the refreshments. I'm thinking of maybe holding a raffle to obtain the license/refreshment cost and then the movie nights could be free.
I don't mean to sound dumb but how do you handle the daddy/daughter and a mom/son type of night. What do you do if there is no parent of that gender. Do the same gender parent or relative bring the children or are those kids just left out. We have several from divorce families where one parent isn't even allowed into the school. We had a sock hop last year and had to be very careful about checking drivers license against the names listed that were allowed to pick the child up. It was a disaster, of course mom or dad sent someone that wasn't listed, I was even "fussed" out by the then PTO President for enforcing the show of ID. With so many children being abducted you would think parents, when asked, would list everyone that is allowed to get their precious child and show their ID with a smile and a thank you!
Also under New PTOtoday.web site listing JHB listed a spell check site,
www.iespell.com/
site. I installed it and it's great for this forum and any other place that doesn't offer a spell check. I love it. I don't feel so stupid with all my little mistakes, Thanks JHB
