Dear parents,
We are excited to be sharing with you the details for this year‘s Fun Fair. All students will be participating in this year‘s Fun Fair on Friday, October 27th. The Early Childhood classrooms will participate in Duffin Hall and students K-8 will participate in the gym.
To volunteer for this fun event for the K-8th grades, please click on the SPC Fun Fair Volunteer link here.
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
The Early Childhood sign ups will be coordinated through each classroom’s room parents for volunteer opportunities. Please keep in mind, parents are not allowed inside the Fun Fair unless they are a registered volunteer.
If you sign up for a shift, you must cover the entire shift. Unfortunately, we cannot allow for breaks for meetings, lunch duty coverage, recess coverage, etc..
All volunteers are encouraged to dress up in appropriate costumes!
As a reminder, all volunteers on school grounds must be VIRTUS certified and this can be done virtually.
The schedule of events for the students visiting the Fun Fair will be released in an upcoming Thursday mailer from Dr. M; however, the day begins with K and ends with 8th.
As in years past, we are asking all children to help by donating candy/party favors to the event. All candy/party favors assignments are listed below and we are asking for at least 1-2 bags to be brought in per student. If you cannot find the item you are assigned, please choose something else off this list. Candy/favors can be brought in starting on Monday, October 16th and given to your child’s homeroom teacher.
As a reminder, no candy will be consumed at school and allergy friendly bags will be available.
We are looking forward to an incredible event and we cannot wait to celebrate Halloween with the students.
Thank you all for your support and help in creating an amazing event!
All the best,
The Fun Fair Committee
