June 4, 2021
Nothing will boost school spirit and add excitement more than a school-wide theme! Transforming your building by adding an extra level of cohesiveness and sparkle will give your building a boost while promoting positive staff morale. Creating a school-wide theme each year is uplifting and engaging for staff and students alike! School-wide theme ideas can shape creative lesson plans, inspire unique student-centered activities, encourage school-wide contests such as dress-up days, door decorating contests, and much more. Mix it up each year and remember the ideas are endless. Teachers may choose to carry their building themes inside their classrooms and continue with creative opportunities and events for their students to engage in throughout the school year. Here are our top 5 picks for exciting and fun school-wide themes.
1. Be Art Rageous— Imagine Everything Art, Beautiful Colors, Famous Artwork/ Artists, Gallery Walks, Art Education.
2. In This School We Stick Together - Decorate your building with charming pastels and vivid greens incorporating images of beautiful cactuses and succulents. Transform your hallways into a magical desert oasis. Maybe even create a giant balloon cactus for your school entryway.
