The holiday season is a time when families gather to connect and share joy. As I was organizing photos from a recent Family Math Night, I was struck by that same spirit of togetherness. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, students, teachers, custodians, and the principal all joined in creating a shared community experience. And while the focus of the evening was math, what truly stood out was the joy of connection and the feeling of belonging that brought everyone together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I thought for my last newsletter of the 2025 year, I\u2019d just share some of those photos so you could \u201cexperience\u201d that feeling of togetherness that happens during a Family Math Night event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
