Believe & Achieve – Celebrating Families Learning Together
Please come tonight!!
Who: Vista Heights School students and their families. Please bring at least one adult and remain with your family.
When: Thursday, April 23 6:30-7:30 pm
Where: Vista Heights School (see the map of the rooms you will visit when you enter)
What: Each teacher has prepared engaging thinking tasks that families will complete together. Families will visit as many rooms and complete as many tasks as they choose. The thinking tasks include such skills as solving puzzles, speed stacking, building and more. You will have the opportunity to practice such virtues as perseverance, creativity and courage. It is not a race. The prize is spending time together as a family and learning together.
Why: A great opportunity to build community in Vista Heights! We love learning!

Thank you for opening up the school to us for the learning celebration night. It was a lot of fun; I enjoyed seeing and participating in some of the fun activities that go on at the school. I appreciate the extras that Vista Heights offers ... like tonight. I think it's awesome the school took the time to put on a family fun, learning night!
