πΆοΈ Chili Cook-Off & Family Bingo Night π±
Join us for a fun and relaxed evening at our Chili Cook-Off & Family Bingo Night! Families are invited to bring a pot of chili to share—or just come to taste and vote for your favorites. There will be both meat and vegetarian categories, and plenty of toppings to go around.
After the chili tasting, we’ll move to the gym for a few rounds of Family Bingo, with prizes and a few familiar faces as guest callers!
It’s a casual, come-as-you-are night to enjoy some comfort food and spend time with our school community. We hope to see you there! π²π±

π§ͺ STEAM Night at LRES π¬
Science • Technology • Engineering • Arts • Math
Come explore, experiment, and create at STEAM Night—a hands-on celebration of curiosity and innovation for the whole family!
Try out interactive stations featuring science experiments, engineering challenges, tech tools, art activities, and math games. Plus, don’t miss the chance to see what our own students have been working on—student projects will be on display throughout the night!
Interested in sharing your own ideas? Kids who want to display a project should start thinking now—whether it’s a science experiment, invention, art piece, or design challenge, we’d love to showcase your creativity!
It’s a fun and inspiring evening where learning comes to life.
Let’s build, explore, and discover—together! π‘π§π¨π

Every Lion, One Book (ELOB) is a school-wide reading event where students, their families, and staff at Laurel Ridge read the same book together at the same time. This program takes place in March and brings LRES families together to build a community of readers and foster a sense of belonging within our school. The reading program concludes with Family Trivia Night at the end of the month.
Committee members help shape the program by reading book options over the summer, attending monthly virtual meetings in the fall and spring (typically Monday evenings), and assisting with planning activities and events related to the chosen book. Please note: January and February are busier months as we prepare to launch the program for students in March!

π Passport to the World βοΈ
Pack your (pretend) bags and get ready for an evening of global adventure at Passport to the World! Students will "travel" from country to country—exploring cultures, tasting traditional foods, and collecting stamps in their very own passport.
Visit tables representing countries from around the globe, each with displays of art, music, photos, and fun facts. Sample delicious dishes, enjoy performances, and end the night with an international dance party!
Want to get involved? Families are invited to host a table—no need to be from a country to represent it; just your willingness to learn about it! Whether you're bringing food, sharing music, or just showing your love for a place, we'd love to have you join in.
This is a free event and a great way to celebrate the diversity of our school community.
See the world—no plane ticket required! ππΆπ½οΈ

π¦ΈβοΈ Power Up Night π₯
Get ready to suit up and Power Up! This superhero-themed event is all about helping kids find their strengths, try something new, and have a blast while doing it.
At Power Up Night, kids can sample healthy snacks, test their skills on obstacle courses, break a board in a karate demo, meet local swim coaches, and more! It’s an active, hands-on evening full of fun ways to move, explore, and feel like a hero.
Whether they’re leaping, stretching, tasting, or learning—there’s something for every superkid. Capes optional, energy encouraged! π¦ΈβοΈβ‘
