You have such a mixed bag of folks and some cliques that it
is difficult to plan a "party" for adults at school. HIGH
SCHOOL TEACH
Suggestions that I have seen work:
1. The Home Ec teacher and her classes prepare in the sourse
of several days a wonderful mean and serve it to the staff
during their planning period. thisis a project for the kids
so it gets a grade. Wonderful food and fellowship with the
people that have planning when you do. Not much of a social.
2. Burgers, hot dogs, steaks grilled during lunch period for
all to enjoy. Trimmings provided by administrators. Great
feast. Good response, little socializing except with people
you normally have lunch with everyday.
3. A tray of desserts served via tray by administrators to
teachers in their classes during the school day. Students
were annoyed; food good, but I hated to eat in front of the
kids.
4. After school party in the courtyard. Singing of carols;
food furnished by administrators and everybody brought their
special treat for all. Lots of socializing, fun.
5. Private party. Home of a volunteer teacher. Lots of
chatting; some game playing..dominoes, depending on your age
range; everybody brought dish, BYOB, soft drinks, etc. Sang
carols, played games, and ate for hours. Great fun. Very
laid back.
