40th Annual Eyre Faire


Eyre Faire
Saturday, May 1st
May Day!
12:00-3:30 pm

Our 40th annual Eyre Faire. Fun for the entire family! Food, games, giant slide, face painting, cake walk, silent auction, raffle and more. You won’t want to miss it!

There will be a letter coming home soon with more information. This is our big fundraiser of the year, and many volunteers will be needed. Our fantastic committee of parents who are collecting donations for the silent auction and raffle have been working hard already, and the items are rolling in.

If you want to donate an item for the auction, please let me know. Especially if you are a business owner, this is a great marketing tool.

Our grand prize for the raffle this year will be 4 Disneyland Park Hopper tickets – value $389.00!

Sneak peek – the food will be amazing! Trini, father of Max in the first grade, is a chef who teaches at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. He has volunteered to prepare all of the food. We will have carne asada tacos, quesadillas, homemade rice and beans, chips and homemade salsa bar. The carne asada will be grilled fresh, on the spot!

There will be sign-up sheets in the cottages beginning Monday. If everyone volunteers for a little, none of us will have to do a lot.

This is a fun time at The Children’s School, and a wonderful way to end the school year! We hope you all will be able to join us!
