Park Days Our members may gather at a local park. Moms come for relaxation and conversation. Kids enjoy free time with schoolmates and exercise. Mom’s Night Out Heartland moms get together for a “girls-only” fun event such as movie night, scavenger hunt, spa & suds night, coffee and crafts. This provides a break and get to know each other better. Testing Optional annual testing (SAT) occurs in May where students meet each morning for one week to take standardized tests. A fun event!
