Fall Fair & Homecoming

Are you excited about Fall Fair?

We are!

There are still opportunities to volunteer at one of our activity or food booths. Sign up for a 2-hour shift today!

Each year, Fall Fair, one of the year's largest events, brings together faculty and families from all over the school for a day of fun, food, games and sports.

To make it all happen, we need you!

Please consider donating a small or large chunk of your time; everyone is welcome and it's a wonderful place to get to know new parents and connect with old friends.

Sign up here!

Thanks to our Friends Academy families who will be hosting Carnival Games, Arts and Crafts, and other fun activities for children of all ages.

RIDES

Newton is back and we will have all of our favorite rides including all of our favorite rides for all ages including the Pharaoh's Fury, Super Slide, Cliff-hanger, Tornado, Happy Swing, Dizzy Dragon, and the Sizzler, to mention a few.

When you arrive on Saturday, stop by the Ticket Booth located near the rides to pick up your bracelets.

CALLING ALL FOODIES

Our parent-hosted food booths will be on campus all day. Sample specialties from around the world. Leave room for dessert because Ice Cream is on the menu! We promise you won’t go home hungry!

STUDENT BOOTHS

Friends Academy Student Clubs and Committees will be on hand to show their FA spirit and promote the important causes that are meaningful to them. Read more about our clubs.
