Family Fun Night September 2012

Laughter filled the air on Saturday night (9/22/12) when Dade Christian School hosted its annual Family Fun Night extravaganza. Several hundred students and their families came out to enjoy an evening filled with fun, food and fellowship at the school’s Northwest Dade Campus (6601 N. W. 167th Street), held in doors due to rain.

“Despite a bit of wet weather, the Crusader Nation was out in full force at this annual event,” said Craig Konchak, Dade Christian’s Director of Development. “Family Fund Night is traditionally a big hit because Crusader families are always looking for an excuse to spend time together.” 

The Crusader Nation was out in full force at this annual event,” said Craig Konchak, Dade Christian’s Director of Development. “Family Fun Night is always one of our more successful events because it brings our school family together.”

In the recently-renovated Crusader Café, attendees savored a choice of authentic Latin cuisine or delicious Flannigan’s barbeque. Once inside, children and parents were surrounded by colorful bounce houses and miniature golf courses. Children and teens alike lined up to have their faces painted by Dade Christian’s upperclassmen. Various school clubs also worked hard to fundraise for their numerous upcoming activities by selling popcorn, candy, and snow cones.

High school senior Rachel Glenn senior said: “Family Fun Night was the perfect opportunity for the school and community to come together and have a great time.” Said Danny Medina, father of two daughters attending Dade Christian, “It’s so nice to see the school do events like this. My girls had fun and so did I.”

At the center of it all, a huge 35 foot movie screen towered over everyone. Over the week prior to Family Fun Night, students and parents voted to determine which film would be played at the event. The evening concluded with a free showing of the box office hit, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.”
