Paine Fall Festival

We had the best Fall Festival on Thursday!  Many thanks to everyone who worked SO hard to make this such a great community experience for our students, families, and staff!  Our students loved seeing teachers in their book character costumes and your booths were so much fun!  It was the best Fall Festival yet!   A very special thanks to our planning team:  Hannah Lutz, Destin Rice, Maggie Burns, Angela Santiago, Anna Seeley, Beth Lang, Lauren Weller, Lesley Rogers, Kimberly McGinnis & Sara Taylor.  We also want to recognize Tim Waldrup, Lori Phillips, and our PTO for helping to make it such a great success!
