Fall Festival
We are excited to offer a Fall Festival this year that will coincide with parent conference week and early voting!
- Our Fall Festival will be on Tuesday, October 24 from 5:00 - 7:00.
- Your booth can be a carnival style game or other activity for students to earn candy prizes.
- The games at the festival will be free for families.
- Donations of candy or prizes from parents are accepted.
- The Lion's Club will have their concessions cart on campus in the circle drive. Concessions will have a charge.
- Since Early Voting is also happening in the gym, we will plan to have all booths outside lining the driveways, weather permitting. In the case of bad weather, we will use the cafeteria and classrooms.
- Parent conferences may still happen during the fall festival! Teams can cover for each other, ask for parent or ambassador volunteers to cover booths while teachers conduct conferences.
Maps will be sent out next Wednesday to show you where to set up.
