Schools around the district plan special events throughout the year to bring families into buildings and expand learning opportunities.

Art nights, reading nights, activity nights and even reptile nights provide enrichment opportunities that expand classroom learning experiences and give parents and siblings a glimpse of school life.

Clover Ridge Elementary School recently sponsored OSU Family Science Night, which brought OSU science students to the school to conduct hands-on science experiments.
