The ELMS Student Services Team hosted our school's first Family Fun Night this past week to promote positive communication between home and school and between parents and children. Through out the evening, families participated in team building activities that were designed to promote effective communication, reinforce the value of creating a supportive learning community that embraces asset development and to review the ELMS expectations as set forth in our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework.
We had over 70 parents, students and staff participate last Thursday evening. The activities ranged from a blind obstacle course, balloon games, PBIS Jeopardy, role playing and trust circles. Here are some of the comments we heard:
"Thanks for helping me talk to my mom!"
"Wow, I didn't know my son was so insightful!"
"It was really fun spending time with my whole family...and learning new ways to have fun!"
"Wow, I didn't know my son was so insightful!"

The evening culminated with an ice cream sundae party and a raffle to give away various prizes. I want to commend the ELMS Student Services Team for organizing this wonderful evening and thank all of the parents, students and staff who participated. A great time was had by all!
