Most schools don't do things like this because it can attract the wrong type of participant. Our children have gone to a lot of school that used to have name tags on the kids during field trips. Now they have tags but no names. The names seem to allow people to identify a child, talk to the child by name (no stranger now) and some abductions have occurred. Advertizing that 20 to 30 kids will be at a given location at a given time is great for the families but not so good for the community. Your second point about keeping web sites up to date is very, very important. I work with a lot of volunteer organizations who keep web sites and after the first two months, the information is virtually useless. They are a lot like bulletin boards. If they don't change very often or have out of date information, no one looks any more. Just thinking out loud here.

Schools could add their schedules of field trips, etc so families could plan ahead and work out arrangements. Web sites can be a good two way communication media but important contributors have to update regularly...I think it has great potential in partnership relationships of all kinds.

Children's artwork can be scanned, along with photographs or pictures, then children and parents can add text to create books, signs, etc. Gloria Williams Family Literacy Project Tucson, Arizona
