Event Spotlight - Back 2 School Bash

Last Friday the Vernfield HSA hosted the annual Back to School Bash!


To celebrate Vernfield's 20th anniversary, this years Bash included three bounce house inflatables and a photo booth. Due to the fundraising generosity of the Vernfield community last year, the Bash was FREE for all families. Thank you!!


A very special shout-out to all of the volunteers who spend their evening setting up, delivering pizza, serving pizza, monitoring bounce houses and staying until after dark to help clean up. These events can't happen without all the volunteering support from the Vernfield community.


The Back to School Bash will need a new planning committee for next year, so please reach out to Kristin Emmons kristin.m.emmons@gmail.com for more information on how to get involved in next year's planning!
