Greetings Briarlake Beavers,

 

A few important weekend updates about the upcoming Fall Festival and Ice Cream Social. 

 

Be on the lookout for the September edition of the Beaver Bulletin early next week.  We can't wait to see who will be "spotlighted" this month!

 

Teacher conferences are the next two weeks.  If you are in need of a conference, contact your child's teacher and schedule one today.

 

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the cooler crisp air!

 FALL FESTIVAL

 

It's Fall Festival Time!!!

WE NEED YOU! 

 

The Fall Festival is a big event that needs a big turnout of volunteers to make it happen.  Please look for ways to volunteer the day of the festival.  If you are able to work a shift on Saturday from either 10:45-1:30 or 1:15-4:00 please contact our fearless (ok, right now she's a little scared) leader, Vanessa Erens at verens@comcast.net

Look for the Fall Festival ticket order form in your child's courier packet tomorrow.  Be sure to purchase more tickets than you think you need because you'll use them all and then want more!

 

We are in need of EZ-ups (those pop-up canopy tents) to provide shade for the children's craft and auction areas.  If you have any to lend, please contact Carolyn Hansen at carolynmhansen@yahoo.com

 

There are sponsorships available for the fall festival.  If any parent or business is interested in sponsoring the Fall Festival contact Tonya Roberts at tsroberts729@aol.com

Thanks so much.  We are looking forward to another wonderful Fall Festival with our Briarlake families and the community!
 
Carolyn Hansen and Angela Pilcher
Fall Festival Co-Chairs
