No worries—some of the best creative work comes when there’s a deadline looming!
Check out our story, 12 Holiday Ideas for Your PTO or PTA, and you might find some last-minute tips.
For instance, if you are having a holiday event, consider adding a Frosty the Snowman or Santa Claus photo opportunity for the kids. It’ll be a great keepsake. But you need two things fast: a good-sport volunteer and a holiday costume!If you’ve planned a Breakfast With Santa event, consider sending this flyer as a reminder to parents. You can find this downloadable in our File Exchange along with other holiday-related documents.
Or how about this quick turnaround idea? It’s based on a cute poem published by a parent group leader on our Message Boards. You could enlarge a copy of the poem, mount it on poster board, and have the children sign it.
Here’s the first verse below, and you can find the complete poem here.
Holiday Thanks to Our Teacher
T'was the week before Christmas at the elementary school
And all the weary teachers were losing their cool!
Santa searched for the ones that gave their time and hearts
He wanted to thank them but how could he start?
Candygrams are always fun at school, and it’s something that you can pull together really fast. Just get our free downloadable Holiday Candygrams, buy candy, hold a candygram purchase during a lunch hour at school, and you are all set.
Last, the holiday season is a great time to make a Box Tops for Education or Labels for Education push! We have lots of collection sheets in our File Exchange, such as this Christmas tree sheet or this one featuring snowflakes.
