❤️Thank You, Families! 🖤

A huge thank you to all of the families who came out and joined us for our 1st Back-to-School Family Picnic this past Thursday at Bakers Lake! 🧺☀️

We hope everyone had a wonderful time getting together, enjoying some food, and kicking off another great school year! A special thank you to Get Sauced Food Truck for serving up a delicious dinner for everyone! 🍕 🍝 🥪 🍖

We hope parents and kids had the opportunity to meet new friends, mingle with other families, and maybe even exchange phone numbers for future playdates! 🥰

We are so grateful for our wonderful families and the community we are building together. Thank you for making our first picnic such a fun and memorable evening! ❤️🖤🤍

We can’t wait to see you all at our next family event! 🎉

Did your kids come home from school this week and tell you they made a new friend? 😊 What better way to meet that new friend and their parents than at our PTA Back-to-School Family Picnic!

Come out, enjoy some food, meet other families, exchange numbers, and maybe even set up some playdates! 💜

Just a reminder that we’ll be hosting our PTA Back-to-School Family Picnic today from 4:30–6:00 PM at the Bakers Lake Pavilion!

🍽️ Food will be available for purchase from Get Sauced Food Truck! They have something for everyone—from brisket and pulled pork to Italian favorites like pizza and lasagna, and even DESSERT NUGGETS! 🤤 Yum!

We know life gets CRAZY this time of year with fall sports, school, and all the activities that come with a new school year. But even if you can only stop by long enough to grab dinner, we’d love to see you!

Take one less thing off your to-do list tonight and let someone else make dinner! 😉

We hope to see you and your family there! 💜📚🍎

Today | 4:30–6:00 PM | Bakers Lake Pavilion

See you there!

Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, growing, making friends, and making memories! 🍎✏️🎨
