Celebration of Families

State and Federal Programs, Athletics and Community Relations are excited to welcome parents and students to the “new look” of Celebration of Families April 18 7:30 AM - 1:30 PM at Round Rock High School.

COF has a strong tradition as a family resources fair that provides valuable sessions for parents and students to build strong relationships between educators and households.

This year, we are including a Wellness Fair and 5K to our programming. This has allowed us to market to a wider net of parents, as well as to financially support initiatives at the elementary middle, and high schools. The 5K is sponsored by Project Graduation, which will support the celebrations at all five high schools by collecting race registration fees.

For elementary and middle schools, we are hosting a special contest for the chance to win cash prizes for wellness equipment/programming at your school. The contest includes a weighted rubric to judge campuses at the event in the areas of: attendance (weighted for campus size), spirit (school shirts, colors, charisma during Wellness Fair), and participation (active participation in events/programs at COF). Our judging team, comprised solely of non-campus affiliated staff, will award two prizes to elementary and two to middle schools. First prize will be $1,000 and second prize $500 to be used on a wellness initiative of the campus’ choosing. We hope to offer more prizes, but this is contingent upon more sponsors for the event.

The Wellness Fair will include a fun run for kids, as well as other activities and vendors to promote wellness programs across the community.
