Saturday October 2nd, 5 - 9 pm
 
We are very excited that have a FULL guest list for this kick-off anniversary event.  If you had RSVP'd and have had a change of plans or number in your party please contact Kristin Smith x332 immediately, as we do have a waiting list and would like to fit people in if possible.  For those attending, please dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as the event is outside in the field!

Fall Festival is October 30th!  Attention Gateway families: With this hot weather, it is hard to believe that fall is right around the corner! As you all know, this year, Peace & Plenty and Harvest Festival will be combined to create a fun celebration of our community and the welcoming of fall.  We are asking for pumpkin donations - when you and your family go pumpkin shopping, please consider picking up one more for Gateway School!  You can drop them off in the lobby starting Monday 10/4. Thank you! 

If you are interested in being involved with the event, please contact parent coordinators Jeannie Wholey or Shiva Hurvitz.
