"Souper" Bowl Luncheon



One of the most successful events I threw for our teachers in February and we made it a annual thing because it was so popular was what we called the "Souper" Bowl Luncheon. We did this the Friday before Super Bowl every year. Each member of the PTA would bring in a crockpot of different soups. They were homemade chili, tortilla soup, bean soups, taco soup etc... If they were homemade the person would bring in copies of the recipes. We decorated the table like a football field (you can either buy a premade table cloth at a party store) or you can make one out of those big rolls of color paper the school has. Football bowls for chips and all that fun decor you can find at a local party store or $1 store (during Super Bowl season). To stay in the theme also I made up invites that look like tickets that were a football them. You can make this as fun and elaborate as you please.

The Teachers really enjoyed this and it was pretty inexpensive since everyone donated a crockpot of soup. The decor was really all that we had to pay for. You can also reuse the decor each year too so its a pretty good deal.
This is a sample of the invite I used. I printed a bunch out and put in the teachers boxes.

WELCOME

Welcome to PTA Central. I am just starting this site out brand new. I am looking forward to posting many ideas that I have used in the past for our schools PTA.

I will be posting a email where you "Fellow PTA" folks can send in your ideas. The goal here is to collect ideas to share with others. I know I always was looking for new and fresh ideas to implement in our PTA and it was not always easy to come by new ideas. I am sure we will be sharing some of the old as well as new ideas which is great.

Heres to hoping this site will be filled with great things.
