SAVE THE DATE! Calling all parents, students, community members, faculty, and staff to come together and have a great time with the Department of Support Services on April 9, 2026, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the RISD School Cafeteria. At the Seahawk Family Fun NIGHT, we will have The Month of the Military Child presentation, a brief educational presentation from Grand Canyon University, FREE Prize Bingo/Games, and a Silent Auction to raise funds for future events.
April is the Month of the Military Child. Military-Connected Students build resilience, adaptability, and strength, but they may also require additional school and community support. So, let’s show our support and help honor our Military-Connected Children at this event. This is FREE fun for ALL, with door prizes and free snacks while supplies last.
We look forward to seeing you THERE! 😊
