Our Back to School Bash was a roaring success! π¦ We welcomed 150β200 families for an evening filled with music, games, food, and togetherness. The energy and excitement from our school community made it the perfect kickoff to the new school year.
This event wouldnβt have been possible without the tireless efforts of our PTA board and the many parent volunteers who jumped in to help with every detail β from planning behind the scenes to running games, setting up, and cleaning up.
Special thanks to these dedicated volunteers, your time, energy, and commitment brought our Bash to life. We are so grateful!
Weβd love to hear what you thought of the Bash so we can keep making events better for our families.
