Spring Fair
The annual KELSET PAC Spring Fair is our largest fundraiser of the year! All funds raised are reinvested back into our school. The PAC supports field trips, classroom supplies, dances, teacher/staff appreciation, special events, guest speakers, and school improvements.
This year’s Spring Fair is taking place on May 30, 5pm-8pm. Join us on the school field for carnival style games, bouncy castle, raffles, food trucks, craft market, and more! Everyone is welcomed to join in on the fun, including community members, families from other schools, visitors from out of town, and beyond! This is an all-ages event, with something or everyone.
This event is cash only. No ATM on site.
Get Involved
This event is completely volunteer-run. We can’t do it without the support of dedicated families, community members, and local partnerships. Thank you!
