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!
