The involvement of a parent group working in partnership with the school staff. Lots of planning and preparation beginning a year or so before the actual event. Promotion of the event among former students and staff, and throughout the local neighbourhood. News releases provided to local media. A well-organised Open House day. A school archives that can supply historical items for school displays Measures for maintaining the security of displays during an Open House. A special event such as the opening of a Time Capsule (see video) Follow-up planning to ensure that items are returned intact to the school archives. &nbsp; Photo collage of Shaughnessy School&#8217;s Open House: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":0,"parent":53,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-59","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/192"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9794,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions\/9794"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/heritage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
