Our hearts are full after our 2nd Annual Back-to-School Kickoff! 💚 We’re so grateful to the three incredible Home Works teachers who opened their hearts and shared their experiences, and to the 14 community partners who joined us to connect families with resources and opportunities. Thank you to everyone who continues to believe in this work and show up for our students, families, and educators.

Nights like these remind us that we’re never doing this work alone. Behind every student is a family, and behind every family is a community that chooses to show up. We’re so thankful to be part of this village and to have you alongside us as we begin another school year.

Pilot Grove Elementary and Home Works came together for a special evening filled with good food, connection, and a little movie-night fun! 180 students, families, and staff enjoyed Chick-fil-A, learned more about Home Works, and heard about the school’s goals for the year and ways families can help support those goals and their children.

After a fantastic Family Dinner where families and school staff continued to build relationships, attendees settled in for a movie night together! 🍿🎬

We love seeing schools and families come together to kick off the school year as a connected community!

Families at Flance Early Learning Center recently came together for their very first Home Works Family Dinner! ❤️ Parents were excited to have the opportunity to connect, share their views and feedback on the program, and celebrate the growth they’ve seen in their children’s development and social skills. After some wonderful discussions, Flance’s chef served up an incredible home-cooked meal of fried chicken, string beans, mashed potatoes, and cornbread - and families were even able to take some leftovers home with them! 🍗

We’re excited to begin this journey with the Flance community and look forward to creating many more opportunities for families and teachers to connect, share their voices, and build relationships throughout the year. 🌱

We had so much fun partnering with River City Outdoors to bring Confluence Academy - Old North Campus families together for an evening at the boathouse. Families enjoyed free access to pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards, along with a delicious meal from Jimmy Johns. 🛶 It was a wonderful chance for families to try something new, spend time together, and enjoy all that our St. Louis community has to offer!

After moving the event from the park to the school, families still showed up ready to connect, meet their teachers, and learn more about how Home Works can strengthen school-family partnerships and support learning at home. ❤️

Students and parents also shared their Home Works experiences, and many families signed up for a Home Works visit that evening! 🏠
