There are a few more spots open in our spring classes. Learn more and register here.
Dear Kate,
This seems like the perfect opportunity to express how incredibly wonderful your parent child class has been in my life sharing time with my grand daughter, Finley.
Enchanted Fair Revenue Raised
This year’s Enchanted Fair raised $16,800, $1,705 more than the previous year! Our gross was $19,200 and our expenses were just $2,400, which was $3,000 less than the previous years. In 2017, although we grossed $20,225, after expenses we netted $15,050. Another factor contributing to our success this year was an increase in sponsorship. In 2018, we brought in $3,800 through sponsorships.
Thank you to the Enchanted Fair Committee for their vision and hard work. A goal for this year’s committee was to make the enchanted fair more family friendly, less disruptive to our classrooms, and more sustainable long term. Thank you to all our parents, alumni, volunteers, and students for all the time and attention given to bring this event to life.
