Spring Fling was Epic! A dedicated group of FTO volunteers wanted to try out a new spring social format, and worked hard for months to make this community social event happen. It’s safe to say that it was a hit — we sold over 700 tickets and had even more attendees.

Thank you SO MUCH to:
-Our generous FTO sponsor,
-Our team leader, Natalie Nardotti, and the entire Spring Fling planning team
-Leigh Ann Cairns of for her graphic designs
- for providing food for hundreds of people!
- AMS and AHS volunteers from
- Family and staff volunteers, and especially the staff who worked extra late on a Friday night!
- Everyone who donated, attended, and supported!

Spring Fling is this Friday — and it’s looking like a perfect night 😎 ☀️ 💐

Please consider purchasing your tickets early. Buying tickets in advance helps us better plan food, games, and activities for everyone!
✅ Advance ticket holders will have EXPRESS check-in!
⏰ Online ticket sales end Friday at noon, but tickets will still be available at the door.

This event would not be possible without our amazing volunteers and donations. If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time to volunteer and help make Spring Fling a huge success for our Claxton community! Links are in our profile or stories.

We can’t wait to see you there! 💛🐝

Thanks to the folks who came out to a quick and dirty Grounds Day this morning! We checked off a few lovely projects, and got some new plants in riiight before the rain!

(Also—how beautiful is our new tile sign? It was created by After School Arts kids in the Tile Muralists class, led by Claxton parent/FTO volunteer extraordinaire Ashley Gray. It’s amazing!! 🤩)
