Lightbulb with brain and the  words Family Fun Night

Ridgecrest held its second annual Family Fun Night on April 8th! Our families had a great time shopping the Scholastic book fair, playing math games with Mathnasium, eating yummy food at the food trucks, and enjoying literacy activities with our teachers.

A celebrity guest made an appearance that surprised all of our students!! Captain Underpants came to hype the book fair and high five students!

Mathnasium provided fun math games and amazing prizes! Our families really enjoyed interacting with our teachers and students were excited to win prizes! Two teachers even won prizes.

Happi Pappi Beignets, Pinguinos Hermanos and the Snack Shack came out to feed our families. We are so thankful they took the time to come to Ridgecrest.

Our teachers also provided educational literacy activities for our families and when our volunteers did not show up, they also stepped up to help facilitate the math games. Our teachers are the best!!

It was a spectacular night!
