Cake Walk is one of the most loved games at Fall Fest! We need LOTS of donated store bought treats to make it a success!  Donated items should be brought to school next Friday, 10/17, during the morning carline.  We will have volunteers in the carline to collect your items.  Sign up here to bring a treat (or several!):

See you at Fall Fest!
