 Family Fall FestivalMinimize
The second annual Family Fall Festival was a wonderful success this
year! It seemed as though the whole school was there to enjoy a beautiful evening as a community. We are so lucky to have such great
families to support our school. Special thanks to Jen Freehling who
organized the event this year, and to all the parent volunteers who
made it possible!

There were many carnival-type games to keep everyone entertained, and plenty of prizes - from cotton candy to stuffed animals. One game that was a student favorite was the dunk tank. Thank you to our wonderful staff members who volunteered to brave the chilly water, and their students who were eager to make sure they went in it! Thank you to the faculty for their support, and the PTO for gathering the community together for such a fun evening!
