I am pondering the late summer window. We are considering having a week at the end of August set aside for pre-launch outreach. The interesting thing about Medicine Hat (and Alberta) is public school starts the week before Labour Day, which I keep feeling is an opportunity. Parents are stressed (but relieved) to get the kids back into weekday routines, kids are disappointed to be back at school (but happy to renew friendships with kids they haven’t seen all summer). In times of change there is opportunity.
My question to you is this: what ideas can you think of that would be appropriate for such a period? I am thinking something that either saves time or takes the pressure off parents rushing for school supplies, or something that might be fun for the kids who are dealing with the shock of classes and homework again, or maybe something school-related that blesses a school. Ideas please!
