Parents and students who attended Fulton Early Childhood Education Center's Back to School night on September 23 went home that evening with more than information about their school.  They left with full bellies, links to community resources and programs and information on healthcare and safety. 

Everyone in attendance was treated to a dinner prepared by students in the Steinmetz Career and Leadership Academy.

Fulton teachers welcomed parents into their classrooms where they introduced themselves, spoke about what to expect during the school and told parents how they can support and help their young ones during the school year. 

Among the many community groups  on hand to talk about an array of services available to parents were:
