The Family Engagement Action Team (FEAT) is made up of parents, volunteers, teachers, and administrators and has been in existence for the past 6 years. This committee of very dedicated members has been responsible for many of the evening events that have taken place to celebrate both learning and enrichment in the Raymond School District. The first year, there was a wonderful theater production, a night to celebrate math, and an evening to showcase science and technology.
Each year, similar events have taken place- every one of them attended by over a hundred students and their parents. We have featured poetry (with a Poe-Bot Robot), writing, math, science, Smartboard activities, theater productions, shows, and more. These events feature fun activities to try (and replicate at home), free refreshments, games, prizes, and a chance for families to enjoy some time together.
This year, there is one GIANT Educational Extravaganza of learning- all academic areas will be represented! This promises to be a wonderful night for our students and their families. On March 26, 2015 head to the Iber Holmes Gove Middle School gym from 6:00-7:30 to experience the fun of learning.
The FEAT meetings take place once a month and we would love to have more parent and volunteer members. Please call Principal Dan Legallo at 895-3117 if you would like to join our group. If you would like to volunteer at this extravaganza (but don't necessarily want to attend meetings), we would also love to have you! Again, please call Dan Legallo. Your expertise is wanted: perhaps you are an electrician and can show students how to put together a simple bulb-battery-wire set up; perhaps you would like to hand out refreshments; or maybe you would like to run the book swap table. Although this evening is all about the kids, everyone who attends has a great time.
