Family Fun Night: Balloon animals, cotton candy and community
We closed out the school year in style with a carnival-themed Family Fun Night.
At the end of may, we celebrated the end of the school year in style with a carnival-themed Family Fun Night for all our program participants and their families. It was wonderful to get everyone together — from our littlest learners to our recent graduates — and celebrate all their amazing achievements with family, classmates and teachers.
Rain kept us inside (and unfortunately cancelled Letesha sitting in a dunk tank!), but we still had a blast with plate spinning, cotton candy machines, balloon animals, face painting, games, a cookout dinner and more!
Check out a sampling of photos from the night below.
Thanks to Beth Skogen Photography for the gorgeous event photography!

Letter from Goodman Community Center to MMSD Board of Education
May 18, 2026
A proposed change by MMSD would eliminate buses from Lowell and Emerson elementary schools to Goodman’s after-school program. While the change may provide the district with short-term savings, it does so at significant cost to the affected students, their families and the broader east side community.
