Students host Parents' Night Out

Students at Bigfork High School are putting out an offer as a “thank you” to parents and community members who regularly support them and their activities.

The senior class will host Parents’ Night Out from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at the school. The idea came from Principal Matt Jensen who suggested it to members of the student council.

“The purpose of it is to give back to all the parents who come out and support their activities,” Jensen said.

On the night, parents can sign in and drop off their children at the school for a night of activities and supervision.

“It’s to encourage parents to go out and have a date night in Bigfork,” student body president Kate Lamm said.

The kids will have a chance to participate in activities like basketball, volleyball and dodgeball, as well as play board games, make crafts, watch a movie and enjoy some snacks.

The students putting on the event are requesting a $5 donation per child to cover the costs and support the senior class, but it’s not required, Lamm said.

“You support all of our activities,” Lamm said about the community. “We just want to give back and help you guys out.”
