This is the perfect time for the kiddos to wear their Halloween costumes to school!
Fall Fest is a family event... siblings of all ages are welcome to attend! There will be games, crafts, food, prizes and some new surprises this year. To make it all a success, we need a lot of volunteers, so please sign up for as many slots as possible. You may sign up your Middle or High School child to help as well. Please indicate their name and age in the comments. Also, please do NOT sign them up in an ADULTS ONLY slot. We will need donations of baked goods, soda, scissors, clear packing tape and duct tape for a few of our most popular attractions, (Cake Walk, Tape the Teacher, Halo Rings Game). Please see the bottom of the sign up for those slots too. Your help with set-up and ESPECIALLY clean-up is very needed, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f4fa5ab2da0ff2-bellgraham2
