SAVE THE DATE!
Fall
Festival Friday, October 7, 4-8 p.m.
Come
one, come all to the 20th annual MLWGS Fall Festival! It is the one event of
the year sponsored by the PTSA to directly showcase and support MLWGS student
organizations! Held on the front steps and lawn of the school, facing Lombardy
Street, the Fall Festival offers a wide variety of activities, entertainment,
and food.
The
Festival is open to all: current students, their families, younger siblings,
former students and families, neighborhood residents and friends of the school!
There
is no admittance charged for the festival and all the entertainment, provided
by our very talented students, is free! Tickets are sold to purchase all items
for sale, which include crafts, games, entrees, desserts and drinks.
Be
sure to “Like” the Fall Festival Page on Facebook to get the latest information
about what is planned and what volunteer opportunities exist (www.facebook.com/MLWGSFallFestival).
The
Festival relies on volunteers to help with the many jobs, including set up,
booth support, PTSA drink sales, crowd control, ticket sales and counting, and
tear down. Parent support is critical to the success of the Festival and
students can earn community service hours. Parent volunteers will be needed
on October 7 starting at 9 a.m. before the Festival for
setup, during the Festival, and afterwards for clean up. The PTSA also needs to
borrow some items to help keep the cost down. More information about
volunteering and donating items will be posted on the Facebook Page and in
future editions of Smoke and Scales.
PTA
REFLECTIONS CHAIR NEEDED
The
Maggie Walker PTSA is looking for someone to chair the Reflections Program this
fall. Experience would be helpful as a lot has to happen in September and
October to make this a successful program! If you have experience, or are a
fast learner with good organizational skills, please consider chairing this
event as it will not happen without a Reflections Chair. If you are interested,
please contact Debbie Taminger at debtaminger@gmail.com.
