Doesn’t the end of the school year just fly by? Between sports, concerts, recitals, classroom parties, etc. it just FLIES.

While I am scheduling our end of season party for baseball, I wanted to share some ideas with you if you’re looking for some way to celebrate your kids.

If you’re looking for an option to come to you:

  • Deliver pizza to your location — we used Church Street and they were on time and offered plates/napkins
  • Have a food truck on call — Kona Ice, Ben and Jerry’s Truck, Rita’s

Everyone has so much going on, I’m a big fan of outsourcing these types of things — minimal effort, minimal clean up, and everyone is happy. For the parents who love creative things, you might have more creative ideas than me. Please share them in the comments!
