Great suggestions here—especially love the idea of bringing in local talent for school events.
At our school, we recently hosted a spring carnival and one of the biggest hits (especially with parents and younger kids) was the balloon decorations around the entrance and game booths. It instantly gave the whole place a festive vibe.
If anyone's planning a school event and wants something affordable yet eye-catching, I'd highly recommend checking out [School Balloon Decoration Near Me](
