My Tip of the Week: Show your Spirit
I don't often plug specific programs here (and full disclosure: the NFL has been a client and partner of ours here at PTO Today), but I love ideas that add spirit and fun to the school environment, and the NFL's new tradition fills that bill.

on't often plug specific programs here (and full disclosure: the NFL has been a client and partner of ours here at PTO Today), but I love ideas that add spirit and fun to the school environment, and the NFL's new tradition fills that bill.
Basically, the NFL is encouraging schools and businesses across the country to show their NFL team spirit on Friday, Sept. 10, 2010, which is also the Friday of the first NFL weekend of the year. It's not too late to participate. Maybe the kids can wear NFL shirts or perhaps you can have an art or banner contest. Who knows? It just feels like the right kind of fun, low-impact but high-interest program for the beginning of the school year.
There are more details on the NFL's site. You'll notice there is also a nice prize aspect to the program for schools that sign up and add the most creative and most active elements to their celebration. (Back to Football Friday is connected to the NFL's Play 60 healthy lifestyles campaign.)
P.S. -- Another quick one for you -- I just reread this "balloon poem" on our message boards. Loved it for back to school. Hope it inspires you and your group.
