Facebooks and Schools?

I have been thinking about how it would look to have a facebook page for our school.  With so many people using this site- what a great way to blast out announcements and upcoming events using this social networking site.  So with my curiosity peaked a bit I am going to do a bit of research on what that would really look like.  I think a “fan page” would be the best and offer control over what is put on the page.  Still not sure but it is worth looking into and bouncing the idea off of others.
