Classroom resources for teachers and field trip admissions are usually at the top of the list for moneys brought in with Happy Valley elementaryB次元官网网址檚 annual spring fun fair fundraiser.

While this school year is nearing its end, the dollars raised with next ThursdayB次元官网网址檚 (May 26) family oriented community extravaganza will provide some of the basics for in-class and outside learning experiences for students during the next school year.

B次元官网网址淓ach class is allotted a certain amount of money every year,B次元官网网址� says Happy Valley parent advisory council president Tarra Rosenke, noting that it could go toward extra fine arts materials, or extra-curricular activities students get involved in.

From a money perspective, the event historically pulls in between $10,000 and $13,000, making it one of the PACB次元官网网址檚 biggest fundraisers of the school year.

Ditto for the fun factor, especially considering that five bouncy rides will be among the activities available on the evening. Organizers have also added bowling to the usual array of games set up and manned by students, including a dunk tank, cake walk and others.

For the bigger B次元官网网址渒idsB次元官网网址� in the crowd, the vendor market and silent auction can make this a fun and interesting experience. And if youB次元官网网址檙e looking to do dinner at the fair, Jenner Chev-Olds has rolled out the Grillverado barbecue truck to help cook up those donated hamburgers and hot dogs.

Rosenke says the support from the community for this event has once again been tremendous, with many donations received to help the cause and keep costs down.

The fair runs from 5 to 8 p.m. at the school, located at 3291 Happy Valley Rd. in Langford. For more information, please visit the schoolB次元官网网址檚 website at .
