Families practice math and literacy skills together at a Winter Beach Party!
Elementary learners and their families came to play some math and literacy games and enjoy a free meal at South Park Elementary on Thursday. Everyone left with some gained knowledge, a few prizes, and smiles on their faces.
Don't forget that tonight is Family Literacy Night at the South Park Gym, from 5-6:30. The first families in the door will receive these awesome gifts! We hope to see you all there!
