FUN FAIR UPDATES
1. First, the Fun Fair Committee is in need of a couple more workers. If you are available to assist, please call the office at 815-625-1456 or Jenni Demay at 815-499-0481.
2. Second, your child will be receiving a yellow sheet home today regarding paying ahead of the Fun Fair event. The last page of the packet is an advance ticket order form. You can pay for your children's wristbands NOW, and the Fun Fair Committee will bring them to the school Friday, October 29 (the day before the Fun Fair), or you can pick it up at the gate. Each wristband costs $10.00 and allows your children access to unlimited games, bounce house, hayrack ride with scavenger hunt, airbrush tatoo, fortune telling, a meal, and much more!
3. Last, if you or someone you know would like to participate in the trunk or treat, please let us know ASAP. You do NOT need to decorate your vehicle for this. The committee has informed us that only 2 vehicles are registered at this point. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS FOR OUR KIDS!
