Fall is Here! Resources for Teaching about Autumn, 2022

All are welcome! We would love to see all of our SAS families, grandparents, alumni, parishioners, and friends of SAS on Sunday, October 13 from 11:00am to 3:00pm. The Fall Festival will take place on the SAS campus. Admission is free, but there is a cost for food and games.

From the Fall Festival Chairs

We are so excited to be co-chairs of the 2024 Fall Festival! It is our first year as chairs, and we've had so much fun building friendships and learning the ropes. The 2024 Festival is going to be a great mixture of fun new booths as well as traditional favorites. Changes and improvements should hopefully make this festival the biggest and best yet! We look forward to working with all of the amazing volunteers. Please let us know if you'd like to help out, and be sure to join the fun on Sunday, October 13 from 11:00am - 3:00pm!


Many Blessings,

Janine Padron and Christina Moser
