Fall Festival is Friday, October 10,
4-8pm (rain
date October 17)
Sharing is Caring: Lend an Item – or a
Hand!
Please
mark items to be returned with name,
e-mail address or cell phone number, and colorful duct tape.
Additionally, organizers
need assistance with set-up during the day and breaking down the stage after
the music ends. For students looking for community service hours, stage
breakdown is a great way to earn them!

what’s most needed, visit the MLWGS Fall Festival Sign Up Genius page:

After a successful debut at last year’s Fall Festival, this year’s MLWGS Fall Festival will see the return of the Kid Zone, a special area devoted to children ages 10 and younger.
In the Kid Zone,
mini-Dragons will be able to play games, make a fall ornament and other crafts,
including a paper lantern courtesy of InLight Richmond. Back by popular demand,
Nutzy, the mascot of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, plans to visit the festival
for a second year. Look for Nutzy to roam the school grounds 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Avoid
the lines…Purchase festival tickets in advance!
As a reminder: All
purchases at the fall festival will require tickets sold by the PTSA. There are
two ways to obtain tickets: stand in line at the festival, or purchase them in
