Help make our festival sweet by donating:
Grades 4–6: Bags of candy for carnival game prizes.
Pre-K–3rd Grade: Store-bought cakes or other baked goods for the cake walk.
Please drop off donations in the school office October 26–29.
We’re still looking for volunteers to help with games and concessions! Even a 30-minute to one-hour shift makes a difference.
We also need volunteers during the school day, Monday–Thursday, before the festival to help sort candy into containers for each carnival game.
Please let Ms. Nancy know if you’re available to help with either opportunity!
Thank you for helping make this a fun evening for our school community!

Amy Biehl Color Run
🌈 WE DID IT, TRAILBLAZERS! 🌈
Together, we reached 100% of our Color Run goal and raised $30,985 for Amy Biehl Community School!
Thank you to every parent, student, family member, friend, and volunteer who donated, shared, and cheered us on. You helped make our Color Run a success!
