Lower School Hosts Spring Fling

What is traditionally the Fall Festival was held in the spring last school year because of uncertainty regarding Covid numbers at the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The event returned to the fall this year.

This is a Parents Club event that was started to give teachers a little extra money for their classrooms to use however they’d like. The event gives students the opportunity to see their teachers in a different setting than the classroom and dunk them in the dunking booth or throw a pie at the principal’s face. This is also a chance for parents to meet each other and socialize while their kids are having fun. The Spring Fling featured dunk booths, jumpers, balloon animals, games and prizes, and arts and crafts. This is a schoo-wide event; Upper School students volunteer to get service hours, and cheerleaders paint faces.

Students in the Lower School also collected food for RIFA’s Pack the Backpack program as a part of the Spring Fling. The student who brought in the most food threw a pie in Mrs. Cindy Kirsch’s face. More than 2,000 pounds of food were collected for RIFA through this event!
