THANK YOU! Thank you just doesn’t seem adequate for all the support we received this year for our 2022 Fall Festival. It is humbling to see the support of our administration, the teachers, students, parents, and community. Thank you so much to all the parents who contributed items for our gift baskets in the PreK through the third grade. The response was overwhelming; much more than we expected. We were more than grateful for all that you contributed. You were a large part of the success of the Bingo. Thank you to the parents who provided items for the cake walk. Those items made the cake walk a delectably delightful event. A very special thank you to all those listed below who provided prizes for the event. Our Fall Festival is not possible without the support of you the community. Thank you to the teachers, and staff who give of their time, donate prizes and money, to make this festival a success. You are such a great team! Most of all, thank you to all the people who came out and joined the fun. You are the reason this festival continues; you are the reason for its success!
