More than 125 families came to the event with over 400 in attendance, making it one of the school’s largest family engagements in recent years.
The evening featured hands-on academic activities provided by 17 community partners, who brought interactive reading, science, art and math experiences for students of all ages. Their participation helped transform the school into a vibrant, collaborative learning space.
In addition to the academic activities, the school also held its largest food drive ever, with families and community members donating generously to support local needs.
