Storytelling Festival

Submitted by jessie.olsen on

On Saturday, Sept. 22 Park View Elementary held their annual Storytelling Festival. The event included face painting, food, bounce houses, relays, games and contests, prizes, and of course the baskets. Each basket was based on a book and consisted of items donated from each class. The baskets were then auctioned off as a fundraiser for the school. Many companies also donated items for the baskets, including Sweet Tooth Fairy, Anytime Fitness, Texas Roadhouse, and many more. The donations and ticket sales were able to raise about $3000 dollars for the school!

The PTA worked incredibly hard to pull of this amazing event. Kristie Reynolds, principal, said, "I want to give a special thanks to our PTA. Vanessa Schmidt and Beverly Serynek deserve special recognition for the months of planning and countless hours of dedication to our school. There were so many other parents that I could and should recognize. It takes a wonderful committee to pull off such a multi-faceted, wonderful event as our festival."

Students, teachers, and parents enjoyed a beautiful fall day at the festival. Thanks to all who helped out for making it a success!
