Fall Fun Fest Cancelled for This Saturday
Regretfully, the decision has been made to cancel the Fall Fun Fest scheduled for this Saturday, November 3.  Due to so many busy schedules, we were unable to get enough volunteer response to man all the games, activities, and food stations that were planned. Hopefully, there will be another opportunity in the future to have an event like this when more volunteers are available. We appreciate the effort and planning that was put into this event by our coordinators and room parents.
