Word of mouth!

We are getting some great response from our hard work, which is pretty much cold calling people, and messaging random people on Facebook. But we are worried that we are going to miss tons of people, especially the ones who don't have internet access.

That's where YOU come in. Word of mouth is a fantastic, easy way to advertise. When you talk to someone that you know was in Mr. Loyd's class, please tell them about the party! If you can't remember the day and times, get their phone number or email address and tell them you'll call them about it. We don't want anyone to miss out on this party!

We are getting more excited as more people RSVP!!

Update!

We had a great planning meeting last week and are so excited about the retirement party! Not as excited as Dad is, though. He has a notebook full of ideas for the party and former students he wants to be sure to get in touch with. Mom says it's practically all he talks about.

Dad has boxes upon boxes upon boxes of student papers and he plans to display them at the party. Some of the more entertaining prospects include students' "Mr. Loyd's Class Reunion" stories, "Autobiography" stories and the annual class humor magazines. Many of these will be laid out at the party for students to peruse.

Other classic elements of Mr. Loyd's class will also be represented. He wants to read a short Jack Tale. He wants to have a short sing-along. He wants to have an area for string tricks. And he wants to conclude with a tour of the Nature Trail for anyone who's interested. He's even hoping to catch a snake in honor of the event.
