Open House is ON!

Last year we accidentally booked our Open House evening on the same night as a Houston Texans football game. Who would think to check the NFL calendar when deciding on dates in July?? Well, we made the most of it! We ordered t-shirts that say "This Teacher Loves the Texans" (we wear them whenever they win!), and we moved the start time up to 5:00. It was a great evening! We had high attendance, but everyone was gone by 6:45 (which is great for students and teachers!). There was a positive spirit in the air because this is Texas - and we all LOVE football!!

We thought it went so well that we took advantage of another Thursday night game again this year! We wanted to kick it up a notch, so we shot a video in "sports" theme to invite the families. Take a look at it here:



 

If you watch it and want the signs our A-Team is holding up, download them for free here: Fun Signs for School Leaders I think they would be useful for many events, photos, and office decorations!

 

How do you organize Open House to balance meaningful event with fun, but keep it in a quick time frame so everyone can come back the next day, refreshed? #somanyhats
