PTA Fall Festival
Fall Festival is next Saturday, October 17, from 2-6 pm! Kids will love the carnival games (laser tag, archery, balloon animals, face painting and cash cube, just to name a few!), while you'll love the Silent Auction. We've got great items up for auction- gift certificates to local businesses, a full set of braces from Shroeder Orthodontics, an Apple sport watch, a signed Tony Romo football and more! You can also buy raffle tickets at the festival for a chance to win great prizes such as tickets to a Cowboys suite at Thanksgiving and a diamond and sapphire pendant valued at $1500! The Silent Auction starts closing down at 5 pm, so bid early and bid often!
SILENT AUCTION SCHEDULE
2:00 pm - Silent Auction Begins
5:00 pm - Class Basket Auction Ends
5:15 pm - Teacher Donations, Flags, Fight Songs and Parking Spot Auctions End
5:30 pm - Auction Closes
Grubbs Infiniti will be there to offer test drives. For every adult that takes a short test drive and a brief survey on an iPad, Grubbs will donate $20 to our school. If you and your spouse take a test drive and each take a survey, that's $40 for the school, for less than 10 minutes of our time. Please take a test drive to help us reach our goal!
Food trucks will be in the parking lot (all trucks will require cash or credit payments), while popcorn, cotton candy and drinks will be sold throughout the festival (these require tickets).
Come enjoy a fun afternoon with your family!
