Kids make a difference at Falcon Heights Elementary

Children decorated paper butterflies for a banner, listened to stories read by teachers and greeted their friends in the school gyms on a cold January night. Parents chatted as their kids dashed from table to table for activities.

But this was no typical family fun night at Falcon Heights Elementary School. The families were there for a purpose. They were there to help others.

The fifth annual Family Service Night drew more than 250 students and their families to the two gyms at the school on Jan. 28. It was a record attendance for the event.
