What happens when you hand over the planning of Bring Your Child to Work Day to a group of creative, compassionate student leaders? You get a full-blown mini festival packed with glitter, giggles, and unforgettable memories—not just for the kids, but for the whole school community.
This year, The High School of Fashion Industries welcomed 40 little ones—children of our amazing staff—for a day that was anything but ordinary. From painting masterpieces and sculpting with clay, to mask-making, wildly fun slime-making, and contest, the school was transformed into a hands-on craft paradise. We topped it off with a pizza party (because what’s a kids’ event without pizza?), an afternoon movie session, and outdoor playtime on our beautiful fifth-floor veranda.
But the real magic? This event was entirely student-led. That’s right—35+ student government members, SEL leaders, and volunteers ran the show. They planned the activities, decorated the tables, and made sure every child felt welcomed and included. Watching our students take ownership with such pride and heart was just as heartwarming as the kids’ laughter echoing through the hallways.

So bring in the slime, the markers, the pizza... and the joy!
