“Arrive 10 minutes early to grab a parking spot before the 5:00 PM start.”
K-5th Adventures: Fiesta Stars is a free, hands-on cultural workshop for elementary school students at the Duraleigh Road Community Library. What to Know: This program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It takes place on Monday, September 21, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Admission is completely free, and all crafting supplies are provided by the library. The Duraleigh Road branch has a dedicated parking lot, but spots can fill up quickly on weekday afternoons, so plan to arrive ten minutes early to secure a space and get settled. This event is an easy, educational way to transition from the school day into the evening. It offers a structured yet lively environment where kids can learn about Mexican traditions, burn off some energy practicing El Grito, and bring home a colorful handmade decoration for their bedroom.

Nothing but the kids — this one's free, with no tickets to buy.
Last year's free and reduced-price meal benefits do not roll over — they expire on a date set by your child's WCPSS calendar, and traditional-calendar families have until October 6, 2026. A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
