I'm so happy to announce that M. E. Norman's Fall fest will be on Friday, November 9, 2018. We recently held a parent/teacher meeting to discuss our Fall Fest. We will send out more at a later date, but here are some of the things we discussed.
1. We debated whether or not to continue purchasing shirts. Another option brought up was a water bottle instead of shirts. The reasoning for this debate is cost. Do the parents want to pay to buy another T-shirt, or is there something else that the parents would rather purchase?
2. Food: Food will remain the same with hamburgers/ cheeseburgers, grilled onions, and Frito pies. We may sell desserts as well as have the Cake Walk. We will still have the grade level drink donations.
3. Due to parish policy, we can no longer have bouncy jumps at school. So we will need games to replace these activities. We will keep most of the old games and add some new ones. New games include but are not limited to (and not set in stone) fish game without real fish, digging for gold game, baseball toss, ring toss, and miniature golf.
4. Donations: For the new games, Ms. Thomas will need some donations. The donations we need will be 20+ Wine bottles (empty and washed), 20+ longneck beer bottles (empty and washed), plastic swimming pools, soda cans (empty and washed), 2+ Hawaiian punch bottles (empty and washed)
5. We need volunteers to help grill burgers, assemble burgers, set up the day of Fall Fest, etc. We are also hoping to get MCHS seniors to work the booths.
If you have any other suggestions or comments of Fall Fest, please contact Ms. Thomas at kethomas@stmaryk12.net or call the front office at 985-384-0877.
