It's very common for folks to give out small (individual-sized) packets of tissue with a label on it (a cute saying, the name of your school's PTO, etc.)
Another option is there are some lovely poems about sending children off to school. You could have one printed on stock paper to hand out to parents.
We have both a downloadable tissue label and boo-boo poems on our File Exchange, along with other free docs for a Boo-hoo event.
Hi there!
That should be enough time. Check with the school, though, to see if that will work on their end. If you wanted to hold it in the cafeteria on the first day, there may be other things going on or they may need time to set up for lunch. Some groups hold these events early in the morning, before school starts.
Good luck with your planning -- and congrats on being a new president. We are here to answer your questions as they pop up!
I am excited to be the president next year and really want to get all the kindergarten parents at the start, and I am planning a breakfast....Our lunch periods start at 10. School day starts at 845. Is that a long enough time to hold an event like this?
There are several fliers in the file exchange section of this site.... if you download them - they give you great ideas on hosting an event of your own.
We've hosted a few but found parents wanting to go out to breakfast with their new found freedom- or run errands before their kids returned home....
