Join us for an evening of outdoor fun with food, bounce houses, and mingling with new classmates and their families. (Kindergarten families are encouraged to come 30 minutes early for a kindergarten playdate!)

No drop-offs please, children should be chaperoned.  Bring a blanket and/or lawn chair and have a great time connecting.

Let's Bash...

Come early to the Back2School Bash to join other Kindergarten families for the perfect opportunity to meet the new friends (and their families!) your child has been talking about.  The kids can spend time on the new small playground while adults meet other parents in their children's class.

Let's Play...

This fun event takes place during the school day and is a great way for the Rutherford community to come together and celebrate the beginning of a new year. Donations are raised prior to the event and then students, staff and families are invited to walk, run, move and groove their bodies around the school.  Participants will get “splashed” with color along the way.

Get Movin' & Groovin'...
