Highlands School Fall Festival
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2017/09 - September
Leave those smartphones and tablets at home and enjoy some good, old-fashioned fun at the annual Highlands School Fall Festival, Saturday, October 28, at the Highlands Rec Park.
This PTO fundraiser is perfect for the entire family. In these days of digital everything, the Fall Festival is a chance for families to enjoy time together without the interruption of emails, texts, and telemarketers.
Every year the Highlands School PTO hosts this evening, with parents and students participating in everything from face painting and games of chance to a cake walk and multiple raffles for gas, groceries, and dining. Tickets are only 25 cents a piece for each activity and raffle tickets are one for $1 or six for $5.
Throughout the 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.
Younger children will enjoy the rubber duckie pool and fishing game where they can win prizes, and children of all ages love to try their hand at the basketball shooting booth. Adults and older students can’t resist the Haunted House, which sets the scene for the Highlands Trick or Treat festivities on Halloween night. The cake walk, featuring homemade baked goods, goes on throughout the evening, and guarantees a tasty selection to lure you to participate.
Make sure you come to the festival ready to eat, because there are lots of yummy choices and the ever-popular homemade desserts for sale. Join the festivities at the Rec Park for the annual Highlands School Fall Festival, Saturday, October 28, from 5:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. It’s an evening for family, games, good eats and a great way to support Highlands School.
