Annual Healey School Family Math Night

On May 27, 2009, in Uncategorized, by The News Staff

The Healey School Family Mathematics Night – which is being held on Tuesday, June 2nd from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm this year – has become an annual celebration of math. This year will be the 8th Annual Healey School Family Math Night. This yearly event is held for children and their families in the kindergarten through second grade. On the night of this free event, approximately 80 families and over 200 participants engage in a variety of math activities, including: measurement, Mancala, card games, story problems, tangrams, block designs, checkers, chess, Connect Four and pattern blocks.

The success of the night is thanks to the numerous volunteers from across the community who come together to help before, during, and after the event. Volunteers have led and supported families in games and demonstrations to support and extend math in the classrooms. Students have also helped to count out such things as 48 counters for each of the 240 bags that were sent home last year. We need and appreciate everyone who helps us out during this event.
