Back to School and School Events
Welcome to a Year Full of School Events
Back-to-school season brings a mix of excitement, nerves, and nonstop activity. From orientation events to spirit weeks, there’s always something going on. But once the first bell rings, the calendar doesn’t slow down. You’ve got picture days, fundraisers, assemblies, dances, game nights, and teacher recognition events to think about.
Whether you’re welcoming students, energizing your staff, or creating a fun space for families, how your event feels can make a big difference. That’s where we come in. At Lamarvelous Balloons, we help you bring that sense of celebration to life with balloon decor that fits your space, your goals, and your school community. From low-key setups for classroom breakfasts to bold designs for graduation and homecoming, we’ll help you create an environment that feels ready. We work with schools of all sizes. Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll take care of the rest.
School Spirit Events That Pop
Homecomings, proms, graduations, and senior nights are some of the most anticipated and meaningful events in the school year. These moments deserve to stand out and balloon decor is a powerful way to help set the scene. Using school colors, mascot themes, or custom signage can make the experience more memorable for everyone attending. A balloon arch at the gym door, columns flanking the photo booth, or a backdrop for seniors to take pictures with friends all help create lasting impressions.
Of course, the school year is also filled with smaller but equally important moments like spirit days, classroom celebrations, and teacher appreciation lunches. These events benefit just as much from thoughtful touches that bring the space to life. We'll work with you to design balloon pieces that fit your goals and your budget. You handle the planning, we’ll take care of the details.

What is considered back to school?
Back to school usually refers to the time leading up to and just after the first few weeks of a new school year. It’s when students, teachers, and families are getting ready to return to the classroom and settle into new routines. This can include things like orientation days, open houses, meet the teacher events, and other welcome activities. It's a time full of preparation, introductions, and community-building, which makes it a great opportunity to add thoughtful balloon décor that sets the tone for the year.
What are events at school called?
School events come in all shapes and sizes, and they can go by a lot of different names depending on their purpose. Some are designed to build school spirit, like pep rallies or spirit weeks, while others focus on academics, fundraising, or celebrating achievements. You’ll also find more casual events like dances, family nights, and themed classroom activities. No matter what they're called, these gatherings are a chance to bring people together—and a great setting for creative balloon setups.
What are some ideas for school events?
There are plenty of creative ways to host school events throughout the year. Back-to-school celebrations are a great starting point, but you can also plan seasonal festivals, themed educational nights, holiday programs, and recognition events for both students and staff. Many schools also host dances, appreciation days, and fun end-of-year activities. All of these events offer a chance to create an inviting and festive atmosphere with balloon décor that fits the occasion.
