Goals |
Provide a short paragraph here, considering the following: What do you hope to accomplish overall with your event? What are your goals for the attendees? When they leave, what do you hope they will have learned? How many attendees will you plan for? |
Agenda for initial meeting |
Before the event, have a meeting with the staff members who will be present at the community night. In this area, provide a meeting agenda discussing what the staff is expected to do before, during, and after the event. An agenda is a detailed list of the meeting topics that will be addressed. |
Parent volunteers |
State the number of volunteers needed for this event. What are their roles? Consider a set-up crew, the snack area, the two activities, the resource hand-outs, etc. |
Materials needed |
List all the materials needed. Consider the supplies you need for the snacks, both activities, the resources you need to hand out, the take-home activity, and the evaluation. |
Nutritious snack |
Describe the snack you will serve and provide this additional information: Why did you choose this snack? How will it be served? What are the nutritional facts for one serving? How will you accommodate individuals who may have food allergens? |
Health Activity |

Resources for your attendees |
Provide three resources (1 health, 1 safety, 1 nutrition) the parents can take home with them. Name each resource and discuss why you chose them or why they are important to share with the families. How will families be presented with these resources? |
Take-home activity |
Discuss an extension activity that attendees can teach/play at home to support what they learned at your event. |
Evaluation |
Create 3-5 questions that ask participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the night. Be sure that some of the questions address your goals, to see if you have met them. How will you deliver these questions to the families? |
Clean-up |
