Description of your Valentine's Day celebration idea for parents:
I thought that it would be wonderful to bring together two things that I believe make a romantic evening. Those two things would be music and food.
The greatest aspect of my idea is to hire a junior high or high school student to seranade you and your significant other.
You could call your local school system and talk with the principal and music teachers to let them know what you have in mind and get a recommendation from them. Leave a message for the student at their school to call you so that this does not go against any school procedures.
They could play for you while you eat. If the student feels uncomfortable going into your home or if you do, have them serenade outside with the couple contentedly listening on a porch or veranda. (Depends on weather conditions.)
A couple of things that this arrangement does; it supports the school system, it supports music programs, and it is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Other suggestions or comments:
Of course payment of any sort, a tip and a recommendation, would help the sudent as well.
