Fall Festival

The Fall Festival planning committee is working hard to get everything lined up, but we need volunteers to help the day of the event to make it a success. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, staff, and students (middle school and above) are welcome to volunteer. Not only is it fun, but students can earn community service time for volunteering. Check back for the sign up links for this year.

Previous year’s activities have included a pumpkin patch, photo booth, cake walk, face painting, obstacle courses, inflatable slides, hay ride, petting zoo, carnival games, and more. Stay tuned to learn more about the activities this year.

We try to plan something for all ages.  All children are invited to participate in any of the activities at the festival. There will also be a Kiddie Area intended for children in second grade and below that is separated from the main area.

No, you’re welcome to walk around or get food from the food  trucks without a wristband or ticket. Wristbands or tickets are only required to participate in activities (typically kids only).

Everything except food purchases is included. That means your child can go through the inflatable obstacle courses and slides as many times as they want, experience a hay ride, compete at the cake walk, enjoy the petting zoo, take a fun photo at the photo booth, and get their face painted. Each wristband also lets you pick one pumpkin from the patch!

The Littles Wristband is geared towards younger attendees that do not want to do the larger inflatables or more complicated games. The Littles Wristband includes all the activities in the Kiddie Area plus face painting, the petting zoo, and a pumpkin from the patch! Littles Wristbands do not include the cake walk, photo booth, and larger inflatable slides and obstacle courses.

Any food or drinks provided by the food trucks (the vendors do charge, but most donate a portion of their proceeds back to our school), and additional pumpkin patch pumpkins. One pumpkin is included with a wristband.

Yes, there will be food trucks with dinner, drink, and dessert options. The food vendors do charge (not included with your wristband/tickets), but most donate a portion of their proceeds back to our school.

The Fall Festival is Meiklejohn’s annual community event, and is open to anyone. Invite your neighbors, friends, and extended family to join in on the fun.

No. Please keep an eye on your children during the event and choose a meeting spot in case you get separated.

You can preorder wristbands online at the Meiklejohn Store until September 30. This lets you skip the lines at the event and start enjoying the festivities sooner. Preordered wristbands will be sent home in Thursday folders on Oct 2nd. Individual tickets and wristbands can be purchased at the event as well. If you join the PTA at the Pride or Mountain Lion membership level by September 30th, you will receive 2 free wristbands for this year’s Fall Fest ($60 value).
