Confluence Academy - Old North first-ever “Spring Into Learning” Family Workshop was a night to remember - ending with a Sparkling Sneaker Ball for students and families! 👟💃

Families came dressed to impress in colorful, coordinated outfits as they participated in hands-on Math, STEAM, and ELA activities together. From Math-a-Palooza games and science experiments to reading strategies, vocabulary building, and summer goal-setting, the evening was full of learning, connection, and fun.

After the workshops, families enjoyed a Chick-fil-A dinner, dancing, music, and photo opportunities to celebrate all they learned together. Special thanks to Blueprint4 for sharing summer learning resources and activity books to help keep students engaged all summer long! ✨

🎉 Give STL Day is happening NOW, and we’re grateful to be part of a community coming together to invest in local impact.

At Home Works, we believe strong relationships are the foundation for student success. When families and teachers are connected, students feel more supported, more confident, and more ready to learn.

Every gift made today helps strengthen those school-home partnerships through evidence-based family engagement that supports students, families, and educators alike. 💙

There’s still time to make an impact:

🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

To the teachers showing up every day - juggling it all, creating structure out of chaos, noticing the small wins, and building real relationships with your students, thank you.

At Home Works, we get to see just how much those everyday moments matter. The check-ins, the encouragement, the consistency, they add up in ways that often go unseen but are deeply felt by students and families.

Today we’re celebrating the difference you make - one connection at a time - and the lasting impact that has on the communities you serve.

We see you. We appreciate you. Thank you for everything you do. 💙
