Family Fellowship Festival 2012

This year's Family Fellowship Festival is rapidly approaching, and we have exciting news to share with you from the committees working hard on this year's event. Now in its 27th year, the Festival had been a lot the same over the past years, and the time has come for major changes to make it more exciting for our entire school and church community.

So this year, while we'll see the return of a few of our most popular festival activities--the sale of Helen Burrus' incredible photos of the children, the Gourmet Market, and the Plant Sale--expect to experience a completely different Festival on Friday, April 20.

In keeping with our "Down on the Farm" theme, children's entertainer Farmer Jason will perform in McWhirter Hall. (This is children's music that you'll enjoy, too. Don't know Farmer Jason? Ask your child!)

Dinner will be outdoors, with some of Nashville's most popular food trucks providing the fare, and sharing their profits with us.

The gym will be filled to the rafters with the inflatable slides, bouncy houses, and obstacle courses that the children love so much.

We'll have a photo booth, so that your family can take home a one-of-a-kind memory of the evening.

The Gourmet Market has a slate of almost entirely new menu items, from appetizers to dessert, just in time to feed your Easter guests.

The plant sale has a new vendor, and will offer organic plants among its options.

The children will create class art projects for auction, which will be sold during the Spring Arts Festival at the end of May.

The Festival is one of the most memorable times of the year for the school and church communities, providing fun for the entire family. We'd like to ask that all of our families attend, and that you consider who you might invite to join you--your child's best friend? Cousins? Grandparents? This event raises funds for budget items not covered by tuition, such as new gym and playground equipment, educational resources for classrooms, and supplies for our wonderful music program. And it's a great way to give back to the school and church while having a great time! Please mark these dates on your calendar, and join in the fun!
