MATERIALS:
All parents are encouraged to bring in much needed materials for the festival. These range from food and drink items, cooking materials, game and activity materials, tables, chairs, canopy tents, decorations etc. Please see the booth assignments and item lists for each teacher below. If you would like to sign up to bring a material or volunteer for a booth, please contact that teacher using their email below.
All large items like tents, tables and chairs are to be brought to campus the day before the festival to be set up in the field the afternoon of Tuesday, October 30 so that they are ready to be decorated and further prepared the following morning of the festival.
PROPER MATERIALS LABELING:
Parents must label all donated materials for the festival to make sure they go to the correct person for the festival. Correct labeling will ensure proper storage after the festival or item returning to the family who graciously let us borrow their materials for the day.
Any food, drink, game, cooking, activity, or prize material that will be consumed the day of the festival is to have the teacher's name written in permanent marker somewhere on the box or item so that the front office staff can call that teacher down to pick up their materials.
Any large items like plastic tables, chairs, coolers, canopy tents, games, and machines that are donated to the Fine Arts program are to have "Fine Arts" labeled somewhere on the item or box so that we know it is to be stored in our storage after the event.
Any large items like plastic tables, chairs, coolers, canopy tents, games, and machines that are being lent to us for the festival are to have the parent and student full names written somewhere on the item in permanent marker. These should preferably be labeled where the item appearance won't be ruined by the label.
