• School’s done? Time for fun!

    Last day of school = first day of summer, that’s just math. Here are a few ideas to kick-start the celebration.

  • Mini-parade

    Blast some tunes, wave encouraging signs, toss some candy, parade your way back home. What’s not to love?

  • Add a root beer 

    float (get it?) 

    to top it off.

  • Gratitude garden

    Personalize planters to share with someone—teachers, librarians, coaches, etc.—from the school year you’re thankful for. 

  • Write your own 

    message on these 

    scratch-offs.

  • Games & grills

    Ice down your fave bevvies & hit the park for some softball, cornhole, pickleball or whatever game your group loves. Losing team makes dinner. 

  • A playlist with 

    customized 

    walk-up music 

    for each player 

    is big league fun.

  • Backyard movies

    Show an age-appropriate movie about the last day of school (a quick search will give you some options) or whichever flick has the most quoteability among your group.

  • Try a double-feature for the younger and older groups. 

  • Props for teacher

    They’re looking forward to the summer as much as you are. Send ’em off with a small gesture of how much they meant to you. They’ll appreciate it. 

  • A Target GiftCard 

    is basically a gold bar to a teacher.
