Every Fall Fest committee member was invaluable to making this year's Festival absolutely outstanding! We couldn't have done it without all your hard work, dedication, support and enthusiasm.
Additionally, we would like to thank all of our St Philip the Apostle School families who supported the Festival through their sponsorship, volunteerism and patronage. Fall Fest is always such a lovely way for our community to come together and raise money for our children.
We look forward to seeing everyone in November at our
PTO Book Fair, November 28th - December 4th
!
Thank you again.

Dear St. Philip Families,
Thank you so much for helping out with this year's Fall Festival! It was a great day to share with fellow school families and lots of happy, silly-stringing kids!
The Fall Festival wouldn't be the success it is without the help of each of our families volunteering to pitch in and come together, not only for a wonderful community event, but also to bring in all the money we raised yesterday for our children's educational enrichment!
This year we have a Fall Festival survey. You will find the link in today's Principal's Notes. Please take the time to complete the survey. We need to know everyone's ideas, comments, compliments, and concerns. Additionally, if you'd like to serve on the 2017 Fall Festival Committee, please email
spfallfest2016@gmail.com
. We'd be thrilled to have new members as part of our team.
Lastly, we will start reviewing and approving festival hours in the coming weeks. If you have any questions, then please email
spfallfest2016@gmail.com.
Again, THANK YOU!
Arin Dunn
2016 Fall Festival Chair
