Science Night at The Meadows Elementary (DeSoto)

We had a great time at the Dad and Kid Science Night at The Meadows Elementary in DeSoto.  I think the days off from the icy weather caused us to have a smaller crowd than usual.  But it was still a good night for Dads and Moms and Kids to be together doing science activities.  Thanks to Ms. Angeles and the staff at The Meadows for their great support.  Keep up the great work in DeSoto!

Marvelous Math Night at Ruby Young Elementary

We had a great math night at Ruby Young Elementary in DeSoto ISD. We had dads and kids, and moms and grandparents along with great teachers, cookies, and DOMINOES! How can it get any better. Kids were learning, Dads were doing the teaching (did you notice the same letters are in teaching in cheating? HMMM….) and everybody was having fun. Thanks to all of the Strong Families that came out, and thanks to the teachers that had already put in a hard day and then came out to help at night as well.
