Mile High Adventist Academy Fall Festival Fundraiser

There’s nothing like children running through the halls of their school on a weekend night. The rules are different. It seems to energize them into thinking (at least) some rules are off limits, and teachers and parents are mingling with the students outside the classroom. Children rule. It’s fall and it’s time for the games to begin.

Saturday night at the Mile High Adventist Academy, the air was brisk with festivities and a low roar of excitement. The air smelled of childhood. Little girls and boys with painted faces eating blue and purple cotton candy. Photos being snapped on a bucking bronco saddle, a big swing flying through the air, a student squealing as she flies to the ceiling. Games and corn dogs and sweets filled the gymnasium and cafeteria of the school.

The Fall Festival is a major fundraiser for the parochial school and it is the children’s project. The school was decorated with colorful balloons and streamers, seen were animal and clown costumes on the older students helping with games for little brothers and sisters. Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, babies and toddlers were enjoying a scene of laughing and socializing. The students spent the week decorating and planning the activities while parents chipped in with candied apples, cupcakes and face painting.
