Family Fun Night Brings the Englewood Community Together!

Families from Englewood gathered on Friday night, April 4, 2014 to enjoy night of family fun. The event was organized by the Englewood Parent Teacher Club, spearheaded by FFN Chairwoman Mary Hanson and Principal Gary Etchemendy. This year’s Family Fun Night was an opportunity to celebrate the success of Englewood Elementary School as a Community School, 

Over 300 students and their families participated in this event that involved games, prizes, face painting, silly hair, music, cotton candy, hotdogs, and a cake walk. We were thrilled with the turn out and families really enjoyed having the opportunity to spend some time together. PTC is so thankful for the Englewood community that donated theme basket items, and for an amazing team of volunteers. The PTC would not have had such a successful evening without the help of so many incredible people, including  teachers, staff, parents, and the North Salem High School student volunteers.

What a fabulous evening! Family Fun Night was once again an absolutely fabulous event. Most importantly, the kids seemed to have great fun. There were great new western theme activities, as well as many returning favorites. The Raffle baskets and all other items in the Auction Room were once again stupendous, and the Flowerpots in Auction (thank you, Teachers, volunteers who helped, and students!) was amazing. The silly hair, newspaper hats, and face painting in the bottom floor hall were of course a great draw.

On behalf of the Englewood Parent-Teacher Club, we say thank you to Family Fun Night Chair Mary Hanson and all the event planning Coordinators, Amy Sargent, Connie Dewey, Shawn Hanson, Lora Dougherty, Bethany Wachtler, Michelle Lewis, Jodi Blackman, Ruby McClorey and our whole fabulous team who together have put 100s, no, 1000s of hours into organizing Family Fun Night.

More will follow (stay tuned), but We have to say THANK YOU to all the amazing volunteers (parents, North Salem High school students, and staff) who made it all possible – by helping in the classrooms, volunteer for other tasks, contributing so generously to Baskets, Class Flowerpots, Auction Room, and so so much more. Thank you as well to all staff (Admin, Teachers, and other). And a huge thank you to Mr. Etchmendy and Mrs. Kay Wallace for helping with putting the whole event together. Naturally, we extend our gratitude as well to our sponsors. 

 And one more super big thank you to everyone that stayed afterwards and helped us clean up! You're awesome!
