KISS A GRADUATE GOODBYE (text by Shanna Mooney)
Invite parents and classmates to give graduating seniors a sweet send-off in the form of a chocolate kiss and a personal message. The event is simple to execute and has the potential to make quite a bit of money depending on the size of the graduating class. (Nothing’s stopping you from expanding it into a “Kiss a Freshman Hello” or “Kiss a Preschooler Goodbye” to celebrate any milestone.) Steps to success: Buy chocolate kisses and bag them up along with the messages. Deliver the goodies on the designated day to each student.
