There was a good turnout of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade parents who were able to make connections with other parents. The Dessert Night is a key part of a larger initiative to build community in the Middle School while giving parents opportunities throughout the year to get questions answered and share experiences.<\/p>\n<p>We are excited to offer a \u201cSocial Media &amp; Your Teen\u201d night in October and a \u201cGame Night\u201d in the spring to continue these relationships between parents and teachers.
