Planning Your Efforts

An America Goes Back to School event can be as large or as small as you choose to make it. Past events have ranged from a class picnic during which parents and community members were encouraged to volunteer in the school, to a 10,000-person citywide rally. The purpose is to celebrate community partnerships for learning, to build public awareness of and support for your education improvement efforts, and to celebrate all the opportunities a new school year offers. If your community already organizes a back-to-school activity, work through that event to bring in more wide-ranging support for your schools. Below is a list of possible America Goes Back to School events to help you formulate an activity or event that would best suit your community.
