School "Families" is a program that is unique to Farragut School. A Family consists of a group of kindergarten through fifth grade students who are lead by one of our teachers. Families meet several times a year; students are part of the same family as long as they attend Farragut Elementary. The goal is to establish relationships across grade levels and to provide opportunities for older students to mentor younger students.

Each Family session is focused on the Six Pillars of Character Program. Students discuss various topics, share ideas, do activities, or perform school services based on the trait of the month.

The Family experience culminates in the spring with Family Sports Day. Each child's "family" is assigned a color and they compete in games and physical activities with their family against other Farragut Families. Family Sports Day is a really fun event for all involved. As always, many parent volunteers are needed to make this a super, team-building experience for the kids. Please consider coming out to volunteer to help that day and cheer your child's family on to victory.
