Dancing+in+the+Dark+2011

Interesting information.... []
 * Date is January 28, 2011, 6:00-9:00 p.m. **

What we need: Some sort of floor covering that we can make glow in the dark Glowsticks/bracelets etc. Blacklights A disco ball would be awesome, but maybe that's just me Christmas lights (get them after the holidays when they are super cheap!) Marla gave me a catalog that has some good ideas in it. [] I'm getting some ideas.....Black gossamer fabric (lightweight). Drape from ceiling? OR, hang from ceiling along walls? We could even put Christmas lights behind it or rope lights along the floor behind the fabric for an uplighting effect? (No comments on the decorator in me, please!) BLACK FABRIC- I think that we could also use black paper/white paper for effect if we can't afford to buy fabric. Also, I saw some cool ideas with lame' type stuff and thought if we move quick on some after-Christmas sales we could mop up on tinsel. And white lights (thanks Kristen). We could even get some reflective wrapping paper and cut out stars with the Ellison machine... I love the idea about getting Christmas lights for after Christmas, although how can we purchase this stuff? Do we have to buy it ourselves, and then get reimbursed later?

What we have:


 * __Chill Out Room:__ **

Matt will help We will begin selling songs before school, the first week we get back in January.
 * __Music/Video__: Dunton's committee **


 * __Peggy's Day-Glo Salon:__ **

Video Game Mobile Theater--They have a canopy and ropes to make an entrance from whatever school exit door we want right into the video van. They can fit 20 kids in the van at a time and will cycle them in and out for 8-10 minutes at a time. It's a van with flat screen TVS, XBox 360s and Wiis. Laser Tag-- I'm very excited about this! We can set up the laser tag indoors anywhere we have room. I was thinking in a commons area and maybe down a hallway? They have these "bunkers" that are about 4'x4' and larger, that they set up to hide behind. She said it's real easy to cycle the kids through if they set the laser guns so that it's everybody against everybody. That way, when the guns die, you're out, and somebody else comes in. We are OFFICIALLY BOOKED for Jan 28th as of today, 12/14/10!!!
 * __Games__: Matt **

Price quote is for $629.00 for 3 hours, 6-9 p.m. I think the Laser Tag sounds ABOSLUTELY AMAZING!!! Can we afford this? Or should we do only two hours?

Food: Meg Pizza Canned drinks Candy


 * __TShirts __: Matt **

We will do a pre-order AND order some extra to purchase AT the dance. Pre-orders first week of January taken by PBS grade level rep. I just got a design jpeg from the tshirt company, but for some reason I can't get the file to upload to this page. How much would staff shirts cost Matt?

Items to Sell: I was looking online and I found some things that might be fun to sell at the Dance: * ﻿Glow in the dark tattoos [] Instead of "Glow in the Dark Tattoos"... would ir be cheaper to just use "puffy paint" and have a "face painting station" where the kids can get their name, or a number, or a smiley face, or whatever they wanted on their face? We could buy just a couple bottles of pure white puff paint, assign a staff member to do "face painting" and it'd be a BIG money maker. Puff paint peels right off with soapy water. Thoughts?

I LOVE THESE!!!!!
This website is pretty cool. We might get some good ideas from here... []

I found some cool stuff for Peggy's glow in the dark salon at [|www.bewild.com]

Mid way through Rewards
Some of my students wanted to suggest having a pajama day or wacky tacky day sports team jersey day, after the upcoming hat day stamp card reward. I THINK THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL IDEA... ALTHOUGH, PAJAMA DAY... CAN WE DO THIS WITH OUR DRESS CODE RULES? IF SO, WILL WE HAVE TO GIVE LIKE A STAMP ON KIDS' HANDS THAT WAY WE KNOW WHO EARNED IT AND WHO DIDN'T?

I was just talking to some folks and had a light bulb! We need to have a reward around dance time for thoses kids who screwed up before winter break. If we do not, then they have nothing to work for in January.
