Women’s History Month (March)
Do you have leaders of past and present in your community that should be celebrated? Women’s History Month is the perfect time to give them thanks! Coordinate your event with movies like Becoming Jane, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or Elizabeth: The Golden Age and have a discussion about the impact women have made throughout your community and the world.
Earth Day (April 22, 2008)
Plan a recycling or community clean-up event and end the day by watching An Inconvenient Truth, The 11th Hour or Arctic Tale. Invite a local environmental expert to speak about the positive impact that steps like these will make for the Earth.
Cinco de Mayo (May 5)
Break out the piñata and chips and salsa for a fun celebration of the 1810 Mexican victory over the French! Make sure to include La Bamba and Selena as part of your program.
Mother’s Day (May 11, 2008)
Celebrate Mother’s Day with lunch and a movie. Great movies like Freaky Friday, Georgia Rule and Because I Said So will be a welcomed addition to your relaxing afternoon activities.
Science/Nature
Work with your local science club or nature center to discover the outdoors. Go on a hunt for bugs, leaves and other elements of nature. Then, show A Bug’s Life, How to Eat Fried Worms, The Ant Bully, Antz, Bee Movie or other bug movies to wrap up the night.
