At the end of September, 4K held their first Family Fun Night of the 2025-2026 school year!
The theme of the event was "Bring Your Parents To School" night. Students had a chance to show their parents around their classroom, take them through the daily schedule and invite them to participate in some of their favorite activities.
When that part was done, all families headed into the cafeteria to complete their Family Picture Page. We supplied the paper, stickers, glue, and markers, and each family brought in photos to add to their collage. These were laminated and are now proudly displayed in each classroom!
