Posting in this forum because this is where the creative minds lurk.
Anon because parents in dd's school may recognize me.

My dd's school asked me to put together a slide show for their dinner. The general idea is to show how much the school has grown over the years. Can fellow imamothers help me think of ideas for which pictures make sense to include? Here's what I have so far, but they're really typical.

A picture of the first building and the current one
Pictures of the first graduating class and the more recent classes
First and current graduation ceremony
Pictures from inside the classroom showing activities, student interaction with teacher, peer interaction
Playground then and now
Lunchroom then and now
Students at an assembly
Pics of important people visiting the school
Principals then and now (is it appropriate?)

It will be running continuously in the women's section, so I need at least 100-200 pictures.

Your input and ideas are very much appreciated.

How about pictures of the graduating class through all the years of school? Also if you could take a camera to school when they are having some big activities -we had a carnival, olive pressing for chanuka -more than just assemblies, school trips... Also besides just the regular classes try to get the computer ones, the baking.If there is anything special the school has - a library, computer technology try to get that in also.

I am not sure how big your school is but you should really really try to have every kid-you may need to sit down with the principals and a class list and mark off each kid to make sure they are all there.
