Fall Fest Information and Reminders

From Amy Holt:

 

Fall Fest is almost here!  We wanted to pass along some reminders, as well as some "new for this year" information.

First, Fall Fest shirts are going home today (yesterday for AM/PM Preschool and 3PK).  Fall Fest shirts may be worn to school tomorrow with standard of dress bottoms.  If your child did not get their shirt delivered to them in class, they may not have reached their $50 pledge goal and the shirt is being held for them in the school office.

Race bags (including race bibs and chip) will be handed out to students Friday afternoon.  AM/PM Preschool and 3PK students, if you have an older sibling your packet will be sent home with them.  If you do not have an older sibling, you may pick up your packet on Friday 12-7pm or race morning.

This year's race will be chip timed.  The race chip will be attached to the back of the bib.  Please do not modify this chip in any way.  Your official race time will be calculated based on the actual time you cross the starting and finish lines.  If you have any questions, please see someone at the registration table Saturday morning.

ALL pledge packets are due back to the school this Friday.  Please return your child's packet even if they have not collected any money.

Friday night's Fall Fest Pasta Dinner supports the 8th grade Washington, D.C. trip.  The Pasta Dinner will be held from 5:30-7:00pm in the gym.  If you haven't already, you may purchase tickets in the office or Friday night at the door.  Tickets are $8 per person, $30 for a family of 4 ($5/additional family member).  Fall Fest will be pre-selling tickets for Saturday's games and bounce houses.  Avoid the lines and purchase them at the Pasta Dinner. 

Fall Fest Ticket Pricing:

  • Bounce Houses – unlimited wristband $5
  • Laser Tag $3
  • Video Gaming Truck $3
  • Cake walk/game tickets 25¢ a game or you can purchase a $3 punch card (12 games)

The Fall Fest Assembly will be held on Monday, October 14 at 2:20pm.  We will hand out 1-mile Rosettes for the fastest girl and boy in each class, conduct the drawings for the mini-iPad and gift certificates, as well as announce the winners of the school incentives.

Lace up those running shoes and get ready for fun – we look forward to seeing you Saturday!
