Parent Night at Brookhaven College

College classrooms are great for intellectual lecture series, distinguished tenured professors, and ripe bananas on sale from Guatemala.  Last Thursday night saw the latter of these three unmercifully scarfed  by voracious students contending for relay-game glory in  Brookhaven College's first ever parent night, hosted by Early College Start and  LINC North Texas.   With an evening of pizza, conversation, workshops and games,  students and their parents were brought together in the way that only family bonding can do - by destroying the other team in a spontaneous classroom tug-of-war.  Laughs were had and  PhDs (Parent-Student Hilarity Demonstrations) awarded, emeritus.   Interested in helping out?  We're always looking for volunteers to help.  Contact us at brandon@lincnt.org and thanks for reading!

Parent Night at Perry Middle School

If ever machines are able to harvest human beings for their bio energy, their capacitors would blow a fuse at Perry Middle School last Thurs night (10/6) -- the energy from the kids was that intense.  After revving the engine a little with relay games that included lemons, bananas and bedsheets (don't ask) these kids and their parents put the peddle to the metal in some serious team-builder games.  Excitement and fun was in the air as moms and dads got to see their kids in a new light and work together.  The tug of war scene was an especially contentious battle for strength and the will to win! . . . All in good fun, of course.  Thanks so much to all the parents and students that came out, and to the all the great volunteers and teachers that helped make this night truly one for the record books. Can't wait for the next one this Thurs night 10/14 for the Early College Start parent night at Brookhaven!

If you would also like to volunteer for our next event, please let us know - we lots of kids and we could use the help!  Contact brandon@lincnt.org

Thanks!
