Fall Fair 2010

This past Saturday the WCFS community came together on campus for another successful Fall Fair and Alumni Day. Due to the forecast of strong winds, the children’s games and some of the booths moved indoors, but this didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. As always, there was plenty of activity, fun, and food thanks to the leadership of the PTO chairs and many volunteers, including parents, teachers and alumni.

I am pleased each year to see so many of our young alumni return to their alma mater for the Fair. This year I was struck by how many volunteered to work at a game or booth in addition to catching up with their friends and former teachers. I also enjoyed speaking with parents of alumni (some of whom came back even though their children could not make it!) who still enjoy the strong friendships that they formed when they were parents here at WCFS.
