Costume contest winners from last year in the grades 1-4 category: Jaidin Sullens, Darth Vader, Fallon Butler, and Sayer Harry
On Sunday, October 26, 2014 from 12 to 4 PM, at Catheys Valley Park and McCay Hall, Sierra Foothill Charter School will host a fun afternoon of activities for the entire community. This is a very fun outlet for children to celebrate Halloween and the community to get together and enjoy each other's company. “Fall Festival is a tradition in Catheys Valley,” said event organizer Stacy O’Hagan. “It’s something the entire community looks forward to. Having it at Catheys Valley Park allows us to add more activities.” The event includes a costume contest divided by age groups that begins promptly at 12 PM.
