The following foods or snacks not be served in a school party involving the school parents: Biscuits, Zobo, Puff puff, akara, groundnuts, etc. These would make the entertainment too cheap and reduce the standard of your school. If you are planning on a low-cost something for parents gathering, you can make the following available:
- Water (bottled water) is good because water is life.
- Doughnuts and soft drinks packaged in plastic can be preferable.
- Samosa and drinks (malt can be great with Samosa).
- Peanuts
- Gala or sausage
- Egg roll and malt
- Jollof Rice and beef or chicken
- Pepper soup, this is a good one when increasing the school fees.
- Pounded yam, Amala or Semovita with melon soup
- Fried Rice with salad
- Moi moi
Apart from food, another very important item of school entertainment is music. Bad sound output will reduce the quality of any party. Therefore, it is advisable to rent modern sound system, a good DJ and MC. Some entertainment companies have all these on one package. Don’t hire or patronize a friend or relative except they have good sound system. Else, they’ll reduce the quality of your party. Remember, you don’t have a second time to make first impression.
