Sleepover at School

For $5, students in grades 3 through 5 at Summit Academy North Elementary in Romulus, Mich., could be locked in at the school. But it was by no means a punishment—it was for an evening of fun put on by their school’s parent group. Among the nightlong activities taking place in various rooms at school: nail-painting, Lego play, karaoke, movies, video games, and sports activities in the gym. Parent leaders planned the event to coincide with a free family movie night. The next morning, students woke up to a pancake breakfast provided by parent volunteers.
