Fall Family Nights

Held at the end of October each year Fall Family Nights is our Fall Celebration of Learning. In the lead up to this event, students evaluate which pieces they want to display and put together a portfolio of their best works of the first trimester. Showcasing their work in a public manner gives the work more meaning, and it’s an excellent way for parents to see the work that is going on in the classroom and the school, and another opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers.

Fall Family Nights takes place over the course of two evenings with even and odd numbered grades split between Wednesday and Thursday Night. (Kindergarten joins the even grades).

Parents get to explore their child’s classroom, see samples of quality craftsmanship, and learn more about the learning expeditions happening in the classroom. Enrichment Classrooms are also open for exploration. Program details will be listed in The Scoop in the days leading up to the event.

Fall Family Nights is also an evening of micro-fundraisers with offerings from particular classes or programs. Proceeds go to bolster those programs/ classroom budgets, or may be put toward lowering the cost of End of Year trips. Cash is king for fundraisers like these, but we are also expanding our ability to accept credit and debit cards.

 

Past fundraisers have featured items such as:

  • Honey from Haw Creek Honey, a fieldwork destination, proceeds benefit our EE program (environmental ed)

  • Coffee from Dynamite Coffee, a fieldwork destination

  • Baked Goods from our EC team (Exceptional Child)

  • Food/ Drink Offerings

  • Evergreen Swag

  • Plan to park in the lower lot or the looping lot, reserving the upper lot for those with mobility issues or parents with strollers.
    We will also run a shuttle from Haw Creek Elementary if needed.

  • Check your Classroom Letter, but in general students will report to their classrooms and family members will make their way to the gym for the first portion of the evening.
