After a week of terrible weather, last Friday's Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night was a huge success! We had about 100 people in attendance, representing more than 30 of our Future Scholars families. This event was our second Family Fun Night and this time we incorporated a new activity--"What Would You Do If It Was You?" Advice Wall where parents could write in their answers on parenting discussion questions. This parent activity, which was suggested by a parent at one of our Parent Advisory board Meetings also tied in perfectly with the Burlington County Strengthening Families Initiative, which Future Scholars is proud to be a part of. Thank you to all of our staff for the hours they spent preparing for the event and running activities, everyone who brought their family to enjoy the festivities, and a special thank you to Room 9 parent Danielle Lepore for all of her extra help preparing food and setting up.
Make sure you check out the rest of our photos of Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night in our photo albums. Next week we will be celebrating all things Dr. Seuss! We're currently working hard to fill our hallways with Seuss-tastic decorations and crafts, and next week will be full of fun Dr. Seuss activities for our students!
The week will end with our second Family Fun Night of the school year: Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night on Friday March 6TH. This is a family event for parents to enjoy with their children, and this time we are opening the event up to the wider community so please invite your friends and extended family with children. There will be games, face painting, food, and lots of fun! We also invite our staff and students to dress as a Dr. Seuss character on Friday March 6TH, either for just for Family Fun Night or for the whole school day! Don't wait until the last minute to plan your costume! Below are some examples of easy Dr. Seuss costumes you can make or assemble for your child. Think outside of the box! These are just some examples...any Dr. Seuss book or character is welcome! And, if all else fails, come to school with a wacky hair-do and brightly colored or patterned clothing. Based on the input we got at one of our Parent Advisory Board Meetings, we have begun hosting Career Day presentations at Future Scholars where our students can learn about some of the things our families do for a living. This was a busy week with presentations from two parents! On Monday, Ryann Lafrance (Noah, 3, and Alana, 5) stopped by to talk to our Pre-K and Kindergarten students about her engineering work with Lockheed Martin. With the help of a great powerpoint presentation, our students learned all about airplanes and the forces involved in flying--thrust, drag, lift, and gravity. Everyone had a blast doing a hands-on activity with paper and model airplanes too! On Friday we had another special guest--Lauren Hejazi (Kaela, 2, and Kaden, 4) who is a dental hygienist. She taught our students in Rooms 6, 10, 11, and 12 all about the importance of dental health (just in time since February is National Dental Health Month!), what it is like to go to the dentist, and the proper way to brush your teeth. Our students even had a chance to practice brushing on a special dragon friend. Thank you very much to Ryann and Lauren for such fun, informative, and engaging presentations as well as for the goodies they brought our students to take home with them. Our students had so much fun that we would love to have more Career Day presentations throughout the year. If you are interested in talking to our students about your job, please let us know!
Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night is Friday, March 6TH from 6:00PM-8:00PM Following the success of our carnival-themed Family Fun Night this fall, we are happy to announce that we will be having our second Family Fun Night to coincide with our Dr. Seuss Week celebrations this March. The event will run from 6:00PM-8:00PM and all students, staff, and families are invited to join in on the fun, games, and food!
Based on input we received at past PAB Meetings, we will also use Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night as a way for parents to give and receive parenting tips and advice. In the weeks leading up to March 6TH, there will be a "Question Suggestion Box" at the front desk where parents can write down a question or discussion topic that they would like to have answered by fellow parents. On Dr. Seuss Family Fun night, those questions will be displayed on poster boards around the school for parents to write in their suggestions and ideas.
Tonight, Tuesday, February 10TH is our next Parent Advisory Board Meeting and the main topic of discussion will be Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night! Please come out to learn more about the event and to give your input so that we can make this event even better than our last one! |
