2024 Fall Festival
Saturday, October 26th | 3-6PM
Fall Festival is a school-wide tent-or-treat on the Big Yard, with a quieter, sensory zone in the Historic Courtyard. Each class creates a themed tent and volunteers at it on the day of the event. Anything “trunk” can be done in a tent! Classes can host an activity/game, giveaway or both. All giveaways must be NUT FREE.
Food will be available from Grant favorite Rocky’s Tacos and the 5th grade parents.
Don’t forget to bring a bag to carry your treats and prizes, and a refillable water bottle.
COSTUMES ENCOURAGED!

Fall Festival Tent-or-Treat FAQ
What is this event?
A free trick-or-treating experience through decorated tents, hosted by each class, from 3-6 pm open to all Grant families. Grant will be open starting at 10 am for classes and families to come set up their tents.
What classes are assigned to this event?
Every class is being asked to decorate a tent and provide the volunteers to hand out goodies or conduct activities during this 3-hour window. This is up to the parents of the class, the teachers have NO involvement. Traditionally at Grant every class runs an event or an activity for Fall Festival.
What does each family need to bring?
A bag or bucket for collecting treats, reusable water bottles and food or snack if desired. There will be food for purchase.
Are costumes allowed?
Yes! There will also be a “Take One, Share One” rack at the front of the school for people to either donate a costume to, or take a free one from.
What is not allowed at the event?
Dogs (except for service animals), alcoholic beverages, sharp objects, or objects made of glass, candies or treats that contain nuts. If you are using plastic cups or utensils please make sure if broken, they would not have sharp edges.
Do we need a group of volunteers specifically for setting up tables and booths?
The set-up, running, and clean-up of the tents are the responsibility of each class, so most volunteering will be through your class leads. We will, however, also need some general event volunteers. If you’re interested in general volunteering at the event, please add your information here: Fall Festival 2024 General Volunteers
Will there be a map of where to put my class booth?
Yes. The map will be shared the week of the event.
Do we need to buy tickets?

Who provides the giveaways or candy?
