Middle School Invites Community Groups to Back-To-School Night

The back-to-school nights at the Bristol Township School District’s Neil A. Armstrong Middle School featured expanded offerings for parents.

The sixth, seventh, and eighth grade back-to-school nights late last month featured 40 community partners involved in health care, jobs, local government, family programs, and educational programs at booths in the cafeteria of the Fairless Hills middle school.

Among the groups there for parents and guardians were: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bucks County, Bucks County Community College, BuxMont CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD), NAMI Bucks County, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Consumer Protection, Safe2Say, and YMCA of Bucks County

The school’s Tiger Techs and student-run Armstrong News Network, which provided a video on the administration, school counseling and programs, were in attendance. The cheerleaders showcased the school-wide positive behavior support program.

“Armstrong was thrilled by the increased number of community partners who exhibited at our annual open house and we received many positive comments from the parents and guardians,” said Karla Davis Jones, a counselor at the school. “It was a win-win for everyone!”
