Okay, i will let the secret out of the box or fess up to it...i am PTSA President at Jordan High School. i got roped into to it and so i told them i would give them one year and that was it! So in the last month i have already spent more time at Jordan High than i ever wanted to, but one good thing has come out of it so far...i am the coolest mom on campus :)...just kidding!
last week, august 28th, we had a tailgate party at the football game in layton. i had spent three days selling tickets during lunch and on the second day i was ready to cancel the whole thing for the lack of interest. by the end of the third day, i had over-sold the amount of seats on the school bus...yeah!!! i sold 70 tickets. the bus holds 65 five...squishing!! Things that made this event successful:
*a great principal who supplied and paid for the bus for us
*awesome sbo's who hyped up the activity....then gave up 5 seats(drove themselves) so that 5 others could get on the bus.
*awesome board members and volunteers who helped in various ways
*great kids that were great on the bus
*great bus driver who was very patient!! thank you, jack!
*face painting while waiting for the food to arrive...we beat the food up there...thank goodness i took paint to face paint with!
*prizes on the bus
*candy on the bus
*candy at the game for the loudest cheering
*more candy!
*lots of kids cheering their team on...we won by the way...52 to 26
*football players grateful for the cheering section
*football coaches grateful for the support and cheering section
*a very patient bus driver on the way home! thanks again, jack!
*fun was had by all!!!!!
I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the weekend! i couldn't believe that we pulled it off so successfully because i wasn't sure that it was even going to happen in the first place. it was so successful that every time i have been at the school since then, i have had numerous students ask if we are going to do it again. the sbo's are begging to do it again. i hadn't planned on it at first, but i am giving it a lot of thought. i may even do a fun bus during basketball season. What a fun event! This is one thing that has made being PTSA pres. worth it...being with some very awesome kids down at jordan...go beetdiggers!
