My Project

Bringing our families into the school helps us to build a supportive and powerful community.

We are going to have a fun and learn event to build the relationship between school and community.

For this project we are requesting giant life-sized games such as jenga, connect four, bowling, and strip lights to complete the bowling lanes. Along with these games, our students are working on literacy games that highlight skills they have learned. These games will be presented by the students. The giant games are to make the event even more fun with games of skill. I know this event will be helpful in building a supportive, strong, and positive relationship between our school, parents and community. The school should be the center of the community in which everyone is a part. By building this relationship, we can ensure that the students are supported and recognize how important school is.
