Events
to which students invite grandparents or special friends are very
popular and produce good attendance.
You
can allow every student to bring a guest to lunch throughout
the week and have students puts on a nutritional lunch program.
Incorporate
presentations by students about what they are studying. Invite guests
to read to kids or be read to by kids. Host an "Invention
Convention," and let students explain what their inventions
can do, why they built it and how. Provide a music
performance.
There
are many options, but remember that personal
invitation by individual students guarantees attendance. Connecting
childless community members with elementary and high school
students is a positive move; remember that it will require some
lead time.
