On behalf of the entire Spring Fair Committee, WELCOME and May the fourth be with you!

As the force awakens at the VFES Spring Fair, you will find many new and exciting Star Wars inspired activities and all of the old favorites too. So be sure to come and share an exciting evening of fun with friends and family!

You will not want to miss the new Light Saber Joust or the chance to Use the Force with the AirZooka. But one of our most celebrated additions just may be the NEW SLIME station.

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” - Yoda

Our Spring Fair is truly a special experience for the kids (and the parents), where we celebrate them and make memories they will cherish for years to come. The Spring Fair is also one of the PTO’s biggest fundraisers, helping to support our teachers and children with classroom resources and cultural arts programs to enrich their curriculum throughout the year. So be sure to come out to enjoy the evening and support the event!

We have benefited from the support of many families, businesses, and community groups. Please be sure to read on to recognize all who have generously contributed to this fundraising event!

A big thank you goes to Principal Becky Wills and the dedicated VFES teachers and staff. We are grateful for all you do and your seemingly limitless energy for our children. A million thanks to the, literally, hundreds of volunteers who give of their time and talents, rain or shine, to make the Fair a fun and successful event!

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to recognize the amazing women behind the scenes bringing it all together! Huge thanks to the Spring Fair Team for their commitment and partnership. I am so grateful to this team!

Have a fabulous time at the Fair!
