Story
Morning and Night, Family Events Deliver!
Cordova Elementary School Cordova, TN
Cordova’s chairperson planned multiple Family Events at differ- ent times of the day throughout the week to accommodate the school’s increased enrollment. It created a comfortable shopping experience while allowing parents to attend the Fair as it fit their schedules. The school held two Pastries with Parents events, one for Kindergarten-2nd grade and another for 3rd-5th grade. Then, they held a Family Reading Night packed with storytelling, a photo booth, trail mix station, and gift giveaways. With three Family Events, Cordova increased their sales by nine percent!
