Feeling like Valentine’s Day events are “been there, done that” and want to shake up your event calendar with some fresh, new February event ideas? There are plenty of fun PTA events for February you can run that will get everyone in your school community excited and engaged.
Warm up winter by celebrating National Homemade Soup Day on February 2 with a delicious fundraising event for your school community. Hold a soup-erbowl and have people enter their favorite homemade soup recipes.
Invite the community to purchase tasting tickets and have them vote on their favorite. You can also gather all the soup recipes together in a book and sell that at your event for extra fundraising dollars.
Held on the second Tuesday in February, National Safer Internet Day is the perfect opportunity to hold an event that reminds kids and families of how they can stay safer online.
During your event, you can focus on topics ranging from generative AI and scams to civility and media literacy with helpful resources from ConnectSafely.
No One Eats Alone Day is meant to foster new connections that begin at lunchtime and last all year. For this event for February, choose any day during the month that works for your school to create an inclusive lunchroom where everyone is part of a group. Put cards with icebreakers on each table to prompt conversations that strengthen connections and common ground.
Running an event for No One Eats Alone Day can have a huge positive impact in your school for the rest of the year.
Take another step toward creating a culture of giving at your school by celebrating National Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17.
For your event, create stations in the cafeteria, school lobby, and other high traffic areas where students can practice kindness by creating a thank you card for a teacher who has encouraged them or a fellow student who has inspired them. Make it public with a bulletin board that everyone in the school can use to shout-out others for their kindness.
Want to make the fourth Thursday in February spicy? Celebrate National Chili Day as a teacher appreciation event in February! Whether you make homemade chili or work with your food services staff to make it, you’ll bring a smile to your teachers’ faces.
If you want to amp up the fun, take some inspiration from Hot Ones and turn up the heat on different batches to see who can handle it best.
February events don’t have to revolve around Valentine’s Day to be fun and meaningful for your school community.
Whether your event is a cozy soup fundraiser or a kindness and inclusion initiative, it’s easy to make the most of the month with activities that everyone will look forward to year after year.
