Thank you to all the families who joined us for our SEL Family Night focusing on the 5 love languages. We welcomed over 80 students, parents, and siblings into the building Wednesday evening. It was wonderful to see students and caregivers learning together, sharing ideas, and strengthening connections. Your time, presence, and engagement made the evening meaningful and memorable.
During the event, we explored the Five Love Languages and the idea of a “love tank.” Families learned that everyone feels cared for in different ways—through words, time together, helpful actions, thoughtful gifts, or physical connection. We also discussed how our “love tank” fills up when our needs for connection are met and can run low when we feel disconnected or misunderstood.
A full love tank supports emotional regulation, positive behavior, and stronger relationships—both at home and at school. When children feel connected, they are better able to manage emotions, solve problems, and engage in learning. We encourage families to continue these conversations at home by noticing what helps fill your child’s love tank and sharing what fills yours as well.
Thank you again for being active partners in your child’s social and emotional growth. We appreciate your continued support as we work together to help every child feel connected, valued, and ready to learn.
