I think it is a super-cute idea.

We plan on a last hurrah at the beach!

What a cute idea! I'm going to have to check out Cookie Magazine (because I NEED one more thing to read, right?) .-= Kara´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday: Totally Adorable.... =-.

Today was the first day for my boys (kinder and 1st). *sob* But what an excellent idea for a party!! I can't wait to look at all the details. And combining it with a fundraiser is a wonderful addition. .-= Sturgmom´s last blog ..A Pictorial Tribute to The Hair =-.

Thanks for the great idea (and for Cookie Magazine’s tools to help make it happen). What fun! Usually I hear about these ideas when it is too late ~ so I’m grateful to have a couple of weeks to plan and prepare. If you drive by our house and see a huge bash taking place, you’ll know what we’re up to!! Thanks so much!

We don’t usually do anything special the night before school starts, other than try to get to bed a bit earlier than usual!

However, the first morning of school, I make a (quick) special breakfast – this year the girls requested cinnamon rolls (with fruit as a side for a bit of “healthiness.”) We also put a little “first day of school” gift by their plate at the breakfast table. I try to select something a bit more meaningful than a toy. We have done things like a watch, necklace, alarm clock, diary, etc.

I also pack them a special lunch and include a “Happy 1st Day of School” note, then make a favorite supper to eat while we talk about all that happened during their 1st day. I do like the “School Year’s Eve” idea, though. Since my girls started school on Monday, maybe we can try the party thing next year!

FUN! What a great idea to teach kids to celebrate school starting and not DREAD it. .-= MamaHall´s last blog ..works for me: twice as many baby wipes =-.

I love this idea. I think it's a great way to start a new school year off with excitement and a positive outlook, esp for the little ones going off to Kindergarten. .-= Paula@Organizing Tips 4 Moms´s last blog ..Back-To-School Routines =-.

Our kids have already been in school for a couple weeks now! This is a great idea though! Maybe next year! We usually just reserve the last weekend before school starts to just have a “PJ Day” at home, watching movies, eating “fun” foods, etc.
