Fall Festival
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2018/09 - September
Make sure all electronic devices are turned off, grab the fam, and get ready for a night of hands-on fun at the annual Highlands School Fall Festival, Saturday October 6, at the Highlands Rec Park. This fundraiser has been a tradition for many generations and has seen its fair share of changes over the decades.
But one thing that hasn’t changed is the abundant fun for all ages. Take a look around and see lots of smiles as staff and students from Highlands School set up games of chance, raffles, face painting, and more. You’ll see even the coolest teenager grin as they help with the haunted house or cakewalk. It’s a testament to the power of intergenerational interaction.
All month students have been preparing for this night by creating themed boxes for the silent auction. In years past, themes have included camping, kitchen and cooking, party, and international food. It’s always fun to see what exciting items fill these boxes that you get to bid on. Local businesses get into the act by offering raffles for everything from gas, groceries, and dining, and the PTO will be serving food throughout the evening.
The fall festival is a PTO fundraiser but it is primarily organized by the senior class to pay for their caps and gowns for graduation. They run most of the booths and build the entire haunted house themselves. Tickets are only 25 cents a piece for each activity and raffle tickets are 1 for $1 or 6 for $5. It’s a great way to spend quality time with your family and it’s all for an undeniably great cause, supporting Highlands School.
The Fall Festival is a tradition for many families who look forward to this evening each year and it’s not too late for you to start your own tradition. Make plans to attend the Highlands School PTO’s annual Fall Festival, Saturday, October 6, from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. at the Highlands Rec Park.
