Mix It Up at Lunch Day is just a few days away!
Don’t be nervous. In our 12 years of experience, we’ve found that Mix It Up at
Lunch events generally go off without a hitch. And, even if you do happen upon
a few “hitches” along the way, the event will be a success as long as your
students interact with someone new.
Keep these last-minute items in mind to keep you on track as you
count off the days until Mix:
Make a Publicity Checklist
Do you have your publicity in place? Plugging Mix via these
outlets can get the whole school excited.
- School calendar(s)
- Morning announcements
- School website
- Posters and fliers
- Press release to local TV, print and online media. (Use this press release template.)
Plan
for Photos and Videos
One of the best ways to capture the success of Mix It Up is to
give student photographers or videographers the opportunity to shoot the Mix
event or interview their peers about their experiences. Also, consider asking
parents and school staff to take digital photos and video recordings so all the
wonderful moments are captured. (Remember to make sure all your recording
devices are charged up and ready to go on the day of the event!)
Please share your images with us via Facebook or Twitter using #MixLunch. (Make sure you get student and
family permission before you share!)
Roll With the Day
If there’s some small setback in the days leading up to the
event, remember not to panic. No matter what happens, your event will be a
success if your students mix it up and have fun in the process.
Have an Attitude of Gratitude
This wouldn’t have happened without your organizers. A small
gift to show your appreciation is always a nice gesture. Think about a gift
certificate for ice cream, coffee or a popular local restaurant. And do
something nice for yourself, too. You’ve earned it!
