opportunities to volunteer and engage in classroom activities, fostering a sense of community right from the start. Our incredible librarians also played a vital role, greeting families in the library with their trademark warmth and enthusiasm. As students filled their Bingo cards, they met with the director, Mrs. Ed (Director Amber Edelman), to enter their cards into a raffle for fun prizes. This added an extra layer of excitement, with students leaving the event with smiles and anticipation. The evening format — combining the open house style with a Bingo challenge — created a welcoming environment where families connected and engaged. Teachers reported almost 100% participation, setting the tone for a school year filled with enthusiasm, learning and a strong connection between home and school. What made this event so special was how it truly captured the spirit of Promontory. Our school motto, “We are Crew, not Passengers,” was in full effect, reminding everyone that we all work together and share responsibility for making our school the best it can be. This Back to School Night was more than just an event — it was a celebration of our school family, building lasting relationships and fostering a strong sense of belonging. We hope this experience inspires other schools to think outside the box, creating events that not only inform but also inspire. At Promontory, we know that sometimes all it takes is a Bingo card, colorful balloons and a fresh approach to make a lasting impact on the great thinkers and leaders of tomorrow. 19
