Snapshot of Spring Fling 2011!

 Spring Fling 2011

This year we are inviting our Clairemont schools to join in our birthday party, a mini car show featuring some classic and sports cars and freshly crafting junk art with our friends and artist of Our Planet Recycling.  Our 3rd Annual Cake Show theme is Outer Space.  Friday night preview for the Silent Auction will include a movie night in the courtyard with yummy pizza for dinner.  And this year we're inviting all those Star Wars movie fans to add to the festivities by coming dressed up as their favorite character.
