Atkinson Elementary School students and their families recently enjoyed the school’s annual Family Math Night.

The night is one where parents and their students enjoy hands-on, computer generated and interactive board activities that focus on skills and content taught in the classroom. More than 200 students and their family members attended the event. 

“Family math night is such a great concept because it’s a great learning tool for the parents,” said parent Graciela Arredondo.  

Students and their parents had access to the school’s computer lab and teachers worked with them in the cafeteria with fun hands-on approaches to math.  

“We want the entire family involved because it is the awareness of using math in our daily lives and practicing the skills taught at school that help our students improve their math skills,” said the school’s principal Lena Rohne.
