For our end of the year event, we decided to do something a little different this year.  We wanted to embrace the Indy 500 happening in Indianapolis.  

The teachers signed up to create activities for different spaces.  This event took place on Friday, May 24th just in time for the race and Memorial Day.  Our families were invited to attend and participate in the activities set up in our outdoor spaces. 
Our families and kiddos enjoyed so many of the activities.  There was water play, a variety of races, sensory play, a tire shop, car wash, and ramps for toy cars.  Our toddler and preschool playground each had several opportunities for taking race photos.  Our Grove had a winners podium.  Our bike track boasted a bike and car race, some parents even got involved in the racing action.  
The Race into Summer with Giving Tree end of the year event is one of several family engagement events put on by the Giving Tree staff.  Family engagement events are especially important in early childhood because it creates investment in education in the early years that matriculates on through elementary and beyond.  Family engagement opportunities create spaces for relationships to be fostered and connections to be made within the school community.  It is a wonderful time to connect with teachers, children, and other families in the program.
