🌞 LAST DAYS OF SUMMER 🌞

We're soaking up these final few days before we're back to school!

If you've been around The Community House at all, you know we're never just talking about events on the calendars. We're talking about something underneath all of it.

We wanted to share a few seconds of pure, uncomplicated joy that was had this week on our patio. It’s what happens when a community makes room for kids to be kids.

That's the whole point. That's why we're here. For moments exactly like this. Not just for kids, but for everyone.

Soak up these last days, Friends. We'll see you soon. You got this! 💜💙

🕺 MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCES ARE BACK 🕺

Here's why we do this: Somewhere between elementary school and high school, every kid deserves a chance to try on a little independence. Their first "big" event without a parent hovering three feet away. Their first real hang with friends in a room full of music and nervous energy and pure, chaotic middle school joy. And Dancing! So. much. dancing!

That's what these dances are. A safe, low-stakes place for your pre-teen/teen to practice being out in the world a little more on their own, and honestly, it's become a full-on cornerstone of the pre-teen/teen social scene around here.

One registration fee. All three years of middle school covered.

💰 $50 registration fee for all 3 years of middle school
📅 2026/2027 DANCE DATES:�6th Grade: Thursday, September 24, 6:30–8:00pm�7th & 8th Grade: Thursday, November 19, 6:30–8:00pm�6th Grade: Thursday, January 28, 6:30–8:00pm�7th & 8th Grade: Thursday, April 8, 6:30–8:00pm
*Dates may be subject to change
