VMAC Family Night

VMAC Family Night

Verona Family Night began in 2003 as a “Scheduled Night to be Free of Schedules” and is a favorite community-wide activity. With the support of the Board of Education, Town Council, Recreation Department, and other community members, VMAC designates a Family Night in March and October. As of 4pm, school-based assignments, meetings, and activities are suspended to preserve family time. 

Local restaurants offer discounts to families that elect to dine out. Coupons for these discounts are available on VMAC’s social media, as well as Verona School District’s Friday Folder, the Verona Library, and Recreation Department.

The purpose of Family Night is to provide Verona families a cleared schedule to enjoy quality time with each other. “Dinner Makes A Difference” is a simple reminder of the importance of family time. Family mealtime is an effective tool in fostering family unity and helping children and adolescents remain substance free.

Poster Contest

Each year, VMAC asks the students of HBW Middle School to submit their own designs for a Family Night Poster. From the submissions, two students are selected to have their designs made into the official posters for Family Night. 

Posters are displayed in schools, the Verona Library, Town Hall, Community Center, and participating Family Night restaurants.
