Staying Connected

By the end of the school day Friday, Fulton Elementary School could’ve emptied out like usual. Instead, families stayed.
Music and laughter carried across the playground while food trucks lined the school grounds serving everything from burgers and pretzels to shaved ice.
Fulton's Annual Spring Fling on May 8 felt like one of those afternoons where school turned into something even bigger than a building.
Organized by Robert Fulton Elementary FTO, the event brought together students, staff, families, and community partners for an evening filled with face painting, activities, food, and one very popular dunk tank.
The dunk tank quickly became the center of attention. Students crowded around waiting for their chance to dunk staff members, all while helping raise money for the school. By the end of the event, the community had raised $417, beating the original $350 goal.
Now there’s a new challenge ahead for Fulton Principal Mr. Sohonyay, who agreed to wear a silly outfit on the last day of school if students reached the goal. Students will even get to vote on what he wears.
That kind of moment says a lot about Fulton. The kind of school culture where students feel comfortable seeing their principal laugh alongside them instead of standing apart from them.
The Spring Fling was about creating space for families to spend time together at school in a way that felt relaxed and welcoming before the year starts winding down.
Thank you to Robert Fulton Elementary FTO, staff, volunteers, community partners, and families for making the evening what it was.
