Greek and Roman Day at Lookout Mountain Elementary:
In 6th grade at Lookout Mountain Elementary School, the kids dive into Greek and Roman history, mythology, and literature. As a fun way to end this curriculum, the school organizes a Greek and Roman Day. The kids dress up in togas and participate in activities and enjoy food centered around this theme.

Aiden's Arrowhead Warriors and Family Fitness:
Aiden’s Arrowhead Warriors recreational team continued to play on Saturdays throughout February. The camaraderie among the lacrosse families is growing, creating a supportive community. These families have become part of our extended family, and we cherish the time spent together at the games. We even took it a step further by organizing joint workout sessions with the parents while the boys had their own session with a personal trainer. It was a fun and healthy way to bond, and it added an extra layer of enjoyment to our weekends. The boys are improving their skills, and we parents are staying active and connected.
