Storytelling Festival Opening Ceremoy

Submitted by jessie.olsen on

Today Park View Elementary held their opening ceremony for the Storytelling Festival. The theme for the festival this year is "Go For the Gold," and the assembly consisted of teachers running to light the torch, students placing class flags on the stage, and a relay with gold medals for the winners.

Inspired by the London games, the Park View PTA Annual Storytelling Festival will be unlike any other we have had before! Bigger, better, and jam-packed with entertainment!

  • An obstacle course/slide combo
  • Snow cones, Churros, & Cotton Candy
  • Face Painting
  • Glitter Tattoos
  • Water Bottle Rockets
  • Hayride
  • Relays
  • Games Galore

Our Festival will also include fun non-traditional Olympic events, such as:

Badminton Relay, Butterfly 200meter, Student v. Teacher, Parallel Bars Relay, Sand Volleyball, and Basketball Relay.

Most impressive are the classroom baskets full of donations from companies across the valley including golf passes, movie tickets, BYU and UVU tickets and paraphernalia, holiday decor, cleaning and baking supplies and so much more.

"The PTA has a long-standing tradition of amazing Storytelling Festivals," said Mrs. Reynolds. "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to pull off such a tremendous event. Our school is grateful for the parents that give of their time, money, and talents. We thank you!"

The Storytelling Festival will take place this Saturday, September 22nd from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Tickets are on sale before and after school and will also be available to purchase the day of the event. This will be an event you don't want to miss!
