In June, the FACE team hosted Family Fun Mornings at Marcella Elementary, Hambrick Middle School, and Eisenhower High School. Families enjoyed engaging activities from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. while the students attended summer camp. Families had a great time making crafts, doing reading and math activities, and learning ways to communicate with their children by learning the "5 Love Languages". Families also received backpacks filled with reading and math activities they could use at home.

Primary campus families enjoyed engaging activities that could help support their students at home. From reading strategies to Zumba and yoga sessions, FACE Liaisons Gina Mann, Magdalena Ruiz, Cynthia Aguilera, Charlotte Wynn, and Jodi Angen did an outstanding job establishing relationships with the families attending summer camp at Stovall Primary, Garcia Leza, Keeble, Jones Primary, and DeSantiago.

"Families are like branches on a tree.

We grow in different directions

yet our roots remain as one."
