Spring Fair, Silent Auction, and Raffle 2022

5/22/2022 12:29 pm

Fun, sun, and bouncy castles! Well, we can definitely arrange the fun and the bouncy castle. Let's hope for sun. Rain or shine, the 2022 Morse School Spring Fair, Raffle, and Silent Auction is not to be missed.

 

Looks like we got what we wished for....plenty of sun and HOT 🥵 weather predicted for the Spring Fair on Sunday. Please remember to wear sunscreen and bring a reusable water bottle (even better if prefilled!). 

 

YOU'RE INVITED:  Sunday, May 22, 2022. 11 am-3 pm

WHAT IS THE SPRING FAIR?

The Spring Fair is an annual fun community event with carnival-like games, activities, and food held at the Morse School. As with most gatherings, it has been a few years since our last Spring Fair, and we are so excited to bring it back! 

 

We are even more excited to share that there will be no entry fee this year! There will be bouncy houses, games and activities, raffle prizes, a silent auction, and food for purchase. 

 

The Spring Fair is also a fundraiser for the Friends of the Morse School, our school's volunteer organization of parents and caregivers. All Morse School community members are invited to enjoy the Spring Fair. There is no need to participate in the silent auction or raffle in order to attend. We want everyone to come and hang out and have a great time, and hope to raise some money in the process!

 

VOLUNTEERS: 

Huge thanks to our many volunteers who staffed the event!

raffle + silent auction

Please consider participating in our raffle and silent auction! FMS has made several big unplanned investments this school year (e.g. new picnic tables to facilitate outdoor eating, school cookbook in lieu of International Festival, our new mural, significantly increased community support, and more). This is a fun way to make a donation and help ensure we can continue to make these types of investments moving forward. 

 

THANK YOU to all the local businesses, organizations, and community members who donated their goods, services, and talents! Even if you don't win, please consider prioritizing these organizations with your time and money in return.
