In an effort to raise funds to keep teachers educating our children, First Avenue Middle School and First Avenue Parents Teacher Student Association (PTSA) are hosting a Community Concert & Festival Sunday, May 22 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at First Avenue Middle School, 301 S. First Avenue, Arcadia.
The purposes of the event are to showcase some of the quality programs offered at First Avenue Middle School and to raise funds to maintain those programs and others at each Arcadia school.
The afternoon will be filled with fun for the whole family. Carnival-style booths (Corn hole Toss, Box Hockey, etc.) as well as face painting, pie throwing and a good old fashioned Dunk Tank is just the start. The First Avenue Garden Club will sell plants and the Home Economics/Advanced Foods class will host a bake sale. There will be a Silent Auction, a photo booth, and plenty of food (tri-tip sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers) and drinks!
First Avenue Middle School’s Drama Team and Small Team will perform during the afternoon as well as concerts from the award-winning Band, Orchestra, Chorus and Rock Band.
This event is open to the public and entertainment is free. Proceeds from the food sales, games, and silent auction will go to Arcadia Educational Foundation (AEF).
