Leroy Elementary hosted a vibrant Community Building Night, where families, students, and staff gathered to create a collective masterpiece—a guided painting of their beloved school mascot, the lion. By providing a shared, creative experience, the school strengthened relationships between families and educators, reinforcing the idea that every caregiver plays a vital role in student success. Research shows that when families are engaged in school activities, students demonstrate higher academic achievement, improved behavior, and greater motivation. Events like these not only celebrate school spirit but also build trust and belonging, creating a foundation for ongoing collaboration that directly benefits student learning and well-being. #ELEVATESuccess #FiveStarProud
