On Saturday, the Office of Family and Community Engagement and Grassfield High School hosted Operation Military Families!

The event allowed for our district's military families to explore resources offered to them as well as fun activities for students and parents alike! Throughout the day, families were able to get complimentary family portraits taken by Lifetouch, enjoy bounce houses and games, eat a pizza lunch and connect with resources offered to military families in our area!

Thank you to Grassfield High School and FACE for putting on an awesome event for our families connected to the armed forces. ❤️💙🎖️
