What a day! Our annual Spring Fling fundraiser, held on Sunday, April 6, was a fantastic success and a true celebration of our school community. From 11 AM to 4 PM, our school was buzzing with laughter, games, and hundreds of smiling faces. It was a day filled with fun and excitement for students, parents, teachers, and friends of our school.
Thanks to the hard work and generous support of our many parent volunteers, the event ran smoothly and was packed with activities for everyone to enjoy. Students had a blast playing a variety of carnival games, including classics like the lollipop tree, Plinko, mini golf, and Gone Fishing. One of the biggest hits of the day was the stuffed animal cage game. If you picked the right key and unlocked the cage, the prize was yours to keep.
Another favorite was the soda ring toss, where lucky winners walked away with bottles of soda. Of course, it would not be Spring Fling without a little friendly fun aimed at our school leaders. Students loved the chance to pie Mr. Gusloff and Father Adam. No Spring Fling would be complete without the bounce houses in the gym. They were easily the most fun of all and a favorite stop for students of all ages.
Guests also enjoyed a wide array of delicious food throughout the day. Whether it was hamburgers, brats, booyah, or tamales, there was something for everyone to savor.
The silent auction brought an extra level of excitement with incredible items up for bid including a ride to school in a Cybertruck, a flight experience, sideline tickets to a Packers game, a signed Jordan Love football, spa packages, and more. The classroom projects were also a highlight. Each grade level put a lot of heart into creating something unique, and it truly showed.
Families had fun trying their luck with over 50 bucket raffles and entering our cash raffle for a chance to win 500, 250, or 100 dollars. The 50/25/25 tickets were a big hit too, with parents and teachers teaming up to make it a fun part of the day.
We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible. From those who baked for the bakery to those who donated raffle items, volunteered time, or simply showed up to support the school, Spring Fling was a wonderful reminder of the strong and joyful community we have here. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did, and we are already looking forward to next year.
