Events
Ice Cream Social
This is our Opening Day social meet and greet for students and parents. It is held at the end of our first day of school. The families enjoy ice cream.
Library Book Fair
We offer a book purchase to help our library’s growth. Books are arranged and parents, grandparents, and guests are invited to purchase these books for the school library. They are recognized by a dedication plate placed in the book.
Grandparents’ Day
This is a special day for the students to share the school with their grandparents or special guest. Parents provide a picnic lunch for their child & guests. The tables are decorated as elaborate as desired or as simple as a picnic on a blanket. The parents are not allowed to attend this special day.
Fall Festival
The Fall Festival is an afternoon consisting of a costume parade, food, music, and games. Younger siblings are encouraged to attend. No scary costumes, please!
Yard Sale
We have two Yard Sales each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Volunteers are needed to pick up donated goods from our storage unit, unpack boxes, and set up tables and racks. Many hands are needed to assist the influx of shoppers. Everyone is invited to donate any items that are no longer useful to them. This event is open to the public.
Polar Express Breakfast
What a way to begin our holiday festivities! Parents and children come to school in their pajamas (Really!). We all enjoy a delicious breakfast together with our families. Following the breakfast, the younger students “settle in” and listen as Mr. Harry Keenan reads the story, The Polar Express. The students in the older grades participate in the breakfast.
Holiday Program
Our music program is highlighted with a holiday production held at the Foley Civic Center in the evening. It is an night filled with songs, a play, and presentation of the Christmas Trees from our Fourth Grade to our First Grade. The preparation involves decorating the stage and room, providing cookies and beverages, and breakdown after program is over.
Empty Bowls
The students in Pre-Kindergarten through Sixth Grade create beautiful ceramic bowls for purchase. The bowls are unique and make great gifts! The bowls are then filled with soup and sold for $10.00 a piece. The money we raise helps support our local food banks. The EMPTY BOWLS program is a constant reminder that food insecurity remains a persistent fact of life for too many people. The fundraising concept has a second mission, as well, to advocate for the arts education and involve students in community service. These bowls show your support in our fight against hunger here in our community!
Mardi Gras
Our mini version of New Orleans! Each class (except Pre-School and Pre-K, they stand on the parade route) parades in individual floats (made from wagons, carts, etc.) or they walk along. Each child and parent is responsible for providing their own float and throws. Following the parade, everyone will enjoy king cake and punch. Also, Mardi Gras music is played. Let the good times roll!
Island Affair
The Island Affair Auction & Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year. We honor a featured artist and the students create their own masterpieces portraying their interpretation of the artist. The event is held at the Erie Meyer Civic Center in Gulf Shores. Live music, food, and a silent & live auction are just a few of the exciting events from the evening.
Field Day
This is a day that students, teachers, & parents come together and show their team spirit and sportsmanship. Games, relays, and lots of cheering comprise this day of physical fitness!
Teacher Appreciation
This is a week long event. Each student will present their teacher with a small token of appreciation. The Parents’ Association provides a luncheon with goody bags for all faculty & staff.
Pink Party
This is our equivalent to graduation. This end of the year music program is in the evening at the Foley Civic Center. Cookies & punch are served following the event. This is a wonderful celebration of our children’s accomplishments.
Box Tops
Teachers, parents, and students compete to collect as many Box Tops as possible. Each month, the count for each class is tallied and the winning class is rewarded. Cut, clip, tear, and involve friends, family, and co-workers to grant your child’s class the prize!
