Fort Scott Christian Heights is hosting a Family Fun Night tonight in an effort to educate the community about the curriculum in a fun and friendly environment.The event will feature activities geared toward elementary-age children, including an egg race, a yodeling contest and other games.

Parents and their kids will also be able to purchase a small dinner of nachos and soda and some other type of carnival food or dessert.

Christian Heights kindergarten teacher Rebecca Harrell said the night is similar to an orientation.

“We will have games and things for the kids and their families,” Harrell said. “And teachers will be there to answer questions about classrooms or curriculum.”

Harrell said the principal referred to Family Fun night as an opportunity for those who are interested in a Christian education to learn more about it.

“It’s a lot of information but it’s fun,” Harrell said.

Christian Heights elementary teachers organized Family Fun Night and it is the second year the school has held the event. Harrell said about 80 families attended last year and “they loved it.”

“The children thought it was awesome and the teachers thought it was a good way to get information out about the school,” Harrell said. “It’s fun for the parents and kids.”

She added that she’s looking forward to it.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to add some new families to the school, put some information out and the kids will have a great time.”

Christian Heights’ Family Fun Night will be held in the school auditorium from 5 to 7 p.m.
